PLAYING ADULT RUGBY - PLAYER APPROVAL FORM

Playing Out of Age Grade – Important Information

YOUR CLUB MUST BE APPROVED BY COMPLETING THE CLUB APPROVAL FORM FIRST BEFORE SUBMITTING PLAYER APPLICATIONS

The priority is always for age grade players to play in their defined age/year group, with their peers/friends and where those that support them are most closely connected. Playing out of age grade is the exception. For any player to do so, the circumstances, conditions, assessments and approvals required in regulation must be in place beforehand. The ultimate consideration must be the welfare and safety of all the players involved.

Playing Up, Down and Adult Rugby is about individual players for whom it is appropriate. Combining is applicable to groups of players joining another age group. Please note, there is a separate form for England Academy, Player Development Group, Premiership Womens Rugby and England U18 Players.

Please read Regulation 15.6 and 15.5 in detail before completing this form. Due to DBS and Safeguarding Requirements this is a 2-stage process. In addition to the individual player being approved, the Club also need approval to play 17 year olds in adult rugby by completing the Playing Adult Rugby – Club Approval Form and process.

Please read the accompanying advice in the Club Guide - Playing Adult Rugby.
