Devon will be offering a series of training sessions for young players throughout the spring/summer at Exeter and Plymouth. Players should have the basic core skills of ball carry, push passing, hitting, tackling and some 1 v 1 elimination skills. The purpose of these sessions is to give quality playing opportunities, access to high level coaching to develop and assess players in preparation for the next county cycle 2026/27.
Players are to be nominated by a school or club to attend.
These sessions are for U12 (current school year 6 and 7) and U14 (current school year 8) for any players who did NOT play in the Devon County Teams last season.
**Current Years 9, 10, 11 may go direct to County Trials in September.**
Players in these year groups need to attend the Development Centres to receive a nomination to the Devon County Under 14 Trials in September.
- Current Year 6: Children born between 1st September 2014 & 31st August 2015
- Current Year 7: Children born between 1st September 2013 & 31st August 2014
