For many girls Herts Sevens 2006 will be their final appearence in junior rugby. With no change to the age bands for next season, any girls who are, or will be, 17 on or before 1st September will, in most cases, be moving on into adult rugby.
To help the girls who are facing this big step, representatives from four of the region's women's teams will be at Herts Sevens this season. Players from Hertford Ladies, Millwall Venus, Old Albanians and Tabard will be on hand throughout the day to meet players, offer advice, discuss what its like in the adult game, and also offer playing tips and suggestions.
The four clubs represent all levels of the adult game, from newly established teams such as Tabard, to well established premiership teams like OAs.
Its should be a great opportunity for all the players at the festival to learn more about the women's game so, if you are a coach, please make the club reps feel welcome and encourage your girls to find time to have a chat with them.
The main aim is to demystify the adult game, so that girls - especialy from clubs that lack women's teams - feel more confident about moving onward and upwards into adult rugby.
