Yorkshire Under 16s Player Development Group (PDG)

Calling all Clubs and Schools
The nominations for the Under 16s Player Development Group (PDG) for the Yorkshire PDG is now open.

Clubs and schools can nominate 1 player per club. HOWEVER, I appreciate we may have had many late performers, bloomers and players who are responding well in games and training at your clubs and you wish to nominate more than one player.

All I ask is you consider the STAR requirements and qualities on the form before completing and if you feel appropriate to do so and nominate a second (or third) player please contact me directly first.

It would be good to speak to many new people as I am new in post and chat around player growth and potential.

The form to nominate players is below:

The deadline for nominations will be Friday 29th August 2025. Players will then be contacted directly with session assessment details.

Many thanks for your contribution to these nominations and look forward to seeing your submissions.

Any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Many thanks
