Strategic objectives
• NRF’s 2016 AGM godkjente strategien (forrige slide)
• The strategy sets the ambitious objective of 25 youth teams by 2020
•
Youth means 13 to 19 year old, boys and girls
•
Combined rugby union, league and wheelchair
• Ungdomsutvalg ("UU") has defined two intermediate objectives
•
Boys: Player pool of 50 U18 by end 2017, enabling U18 national VII team in 2018
•
Girls: Player pool of 50 U18 by end 2018, enabling U18 national VII team in 2019
•
Phasing recognises reality that there are currently more active boys than girls
• The goals reflect NRF’s belief that:
•
Youth rugby is key to developing Norwegian rugby
•
A “step-change” in youth rugby is required
•
Union & league are more likely to succeed by working together
• It was decided to focus on “youth”, rather than “mini” up to 12 year old, in order to provide senior players
within reasonable timeframe
• NRF will not stand in the way of initiatives with younger players, but “youth” is the focus for NRF’s efforts
Youth rugby development
plan
• To meet the objectives, a three year plan has been established to achieve a
“step-change” in youth rugby
• This "Youth Strategic Plan" is described in this document
• The plan has been developed by NRF's Vice President in consultation with
many of those who are currently working on developing rugby in their cubs and
regions
• It was discussed at NRF's "kompetansehelg" in Jan. 2017
• The plan has been supported by NRF's Board
• Responsibility for implementation will be with NRF’s “Ungdomsutvalg”
What is the key to development of
youth (13-19 yrs) rugby in Norway?
It is games = regular games = local games
Why?
• Several examples in Rugby Norway of youth teams that
have lost motivation, as it’s only ever training
• Individual volunteers in Rugby Norway have done a
fantastic job building up a youth team … only to find out
it’s not enough … they need opposition
• And travelling to play requires (another) huge effort for
the volunteer and money (NOK 10 to 20,000 per trip)
What?
First: Develop “clusters” with 3 (or more) teams
within a one-hour driving radius
Then: National competitions between Clusters and
National teams
How? - Work together better
From this
To this
How? – Copy success
• Bergen area is the stand-out for youth rugby in Norway, with two different approaches:
• Sandviken rugby
• Successfully developed school based youth teams (boys & girls)
• Videregående skole
• Led by Trude Olsen, Norwegian international player and teacher at Sandviken skole
• Bergen area/Hordland rugby
• Full-time (paid) coordinator, Karl Frisch
• Primarily through “idrettskrets” and “idrettsråd” funding
• Large number of youth introduced to rugby through school visits
• Very popular in schools
• Transfer to clubs is the key challenge – as Hordaland recognise themselves
• Games, games, games
• Sandviken boys and Bergen have been able to play against each other
• More development needed for girls
How? – Planned activities
•
•
Rugby activities
•
Teams from schools in “skoleprosjekt” and clubs
•
Teams train separately and have own name, so that they feel they are playing against another club
•
Rugby festivals in each region: Oslo/Horten, Hordland & Rogaland to start
•
One national festival that all Norwegian junior teams aim to attend, invite clubs from Sweden/Denmark
NRF support activities (UU = Ungdomsutvalg)
•
Recruit regional committees (Oslo/Horten, Rogaland), clarify roles with respect to Hordaland
•
Admin: Simplify setting up & running a club (prepare template AGM minutes, etc.)
•
•
Consider one “umbrella club” per region for administration
•
Central resource for marketing material, etc.
Referees
•
By 2018 need sufficient level 1 referees in each region
•
For 2017, open up for “less trained” referees, which means that NRF must have defined minimum requirements for a new level
•
•
Must include safety aspects
Minimise participation cost
•
Cheaper player licence for youth
How? – the specifics
• First focus on 3 regions, then roll-out
• Establish Regional Committees ("RCs"), with national coordination via
Undomsutvalg ("UU“)
• RCs:
• Develop teams from schools projects as well as existing clubs
• Develop funding base to employ a Regional Development Officer ("RDO"),
min. 50% position
• NRF to part-finance
• Hordaland already have an RDO (Karl Frisch)
• UU:
• Coordination/cross-learning
• Central resource center to enable sharing of documents, etc
Further details on following slides
How? – the structure
• Focus on two new regions (Greater Oslo, Rogaland) in year 1, roll-out in year 2+
•
Initial regions have an existing junior team connected with a club – Sagenes in Oslo, SRK in
Rogaland
• Identify a regional committee (RC) of volunteers (male & female) in each location
• NRF’s ungdomsutvalg (UU) to support RCs
•
Communication/coordination between RCs
•
Funding; training; referees; club administration
• Initial tasks for RC:
•
Either, identify 2 teachers that will include rugby as a ‘valgfag’ from Aug. 2017
•
Consider international schools – easier to get interest?
•
Or, (if no teacher interested), rugby volunteers to work with school based player group to develop
teams (boys & girls) in the school
•
Identify non-NRF funding sources, to enable paid regional development officer
•
Learn from Bergen/Hordaland’s access to commune/fylke funding
•
Combine with touch (Bedriftsidrett) &/or rullestol to enable full-time role?

Hva skal gjøres nå?
•
Support Bergen as much as we can
•
•
•
NIF Fredkorps student; NRF funding
Aim to replicate “Bergen model” in other places
•
One (minimum) club-based youth team (m&f)
•
Two school-linked youth teams
Requires
•
Existing youth team in area (Oslo, Stavanger)
•
Alt.1: A teacher in each of two schools that is interested to include rugby as “valgfag” and develop teams (boys & girls)
•
Current school projects can be used to identify teachers
•
Are there other rugby players who are teachers (like Trude)?
•
Alt.2: A rugby person to “adopt” the interested players in a school and make teams there (take the club to the kids, instead of trying to
get the kids to a club)
•
Network of volunteers in each area to carry-out and support the the volunteers (youth team) and teachers
•
•
Move away from relying on one or two people
Identification of new funding sources to enable introduction of a paid development officer from Aug. 2017
•
Idrettskrets / råd in the relevant area, NIF, other
•
Collaboration with Bedriftsidret &/or rullestolrugby?
•

Potential funding sources for RDO
• Idrettsråd, -krets, kommune, fylke
• Meet with them, find out their priorities, develop programs that
match – maximizes chance of success
• Stiftelser & legat
• Often can't be used directly for salary but can include requirements
for training courses, etc. which RDO can carry out
• Horten's applications available as template
• Parent network for company sponsorship
• World rugby, Rugby Europe, RLEF?
• Add functions to RDO beyond youth
• Wheelchair rugby
• Touch rugby with Bedriftsidrett
How to develop new teams
• Identify 2+ schools from school project which are most
interested (boys & girls)
• Nominate two coaches to work with the kids of that
school in & outside school hours
• To avoid admin of setting up a new club, register via an
existing club, but teams train separately
• Target PE teacher training events and introduce them to
rugby
• If there are "rugby interested" teachers in the region,
help them to develop their own team
How to measure progress
• Club membership numbers via "Klubbadmin"
• Reports of activity via World Rugby "Get into rugby"
system
• Adopt Bergen's key performance indicator (KPI) system
in all regions
Resource center
• UU responsible for maintaining a central resource
system such as a Dropbox folder
• Enables sharing of (for example)
• Applications for funding
• Posters and other marketing material
• Videos of rugby
Good luck all – “Eyes on the prize!”
