At Georgia Gwinnett College Rugby Club, we're committed to building a strong and competitive team through comprehensive player development. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where both recruits and existing players can grow and thrive.

Phase 1: Formation

The club is seeking individuals interested in taking on officer roles to help with the formation of the club and its submission for official recognition by the College

• New Officers: Officers may include positions such as president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and other roles essential for the club's operation. These roles do not necessarily need to be active players. They need to be individuals who will take on a role and be a core part of the club's success. Any individuals interested in an officer position will need to be active students or faculty of GGC. 

Phase 2: New Player Introduction and Assessment

During this phase, new players are introduced to the team and undergo an initial assessment to determine their readiness to participate in matches.

• New Player Readiness: New players must attend at least 2 on-field training sessions before being allowed to play in competitive matches. This ensures that players have a basic understanding of the game and the necessary skills.

Phase 3: Skill Development and Training

In this phase, players focus on developing their skills and abilities through structured training sessions and exercises.

• Physical Training: Players engage in physical training to improve their endurance, body control, and precision. Training sessions include exercises to increase muscle strength and promote healthier habits.

• Mental Development: Players work on enhancing their cognitive abilities, decision-making skills, and game awareness. Emphasis is placed on thinking quickly, making decisive choices, and fostering creative freedom on the field.

Phase 4: Safety and Proficiency Assessment

During this phase, players undergo safety assessments and proficiency evaluations to ensure they meet the required standards for safe participation in matches.

• Safety Assessment: Players are evaluated to ensure they understand and can implement proper safety techniques during gameplay. This includes tackling techniques, body positioning, and injury prevention strategies.

• Proficiency Evaluation: Players' skills and abilities are assessed to determine their readiness to compete at a competitive level. Coaches provide feedback and guidance to help players improve and reach their full potential.
