Key National Theme - Scottish Rugby Union

KEY NATIONAL THEMES
Season 2010-11 sees the launch of the restructured Male Player
Pathway. This will place greater emphasis on increasing the skill
development and physical competency of players at under-14 to
under-15 level ~ the ‘Developing the Player’ stage (12-16yrs) of
Scottish Rugby’s LTPD framework. This will be done through the
delivery of Key National Themes (KNT) and the forthcoming
national curriculum.
The KNT will be delivered to S1, S2 and under-15 coaches in clubs
and schools through a programme of local and regional coaching
updates. This programme will be implemented by Club
Development Officers and supported by quality coaching resources,
leading up to the first regional Pathway Skills camps in April 2011
for players nominated against entry criteria concerning
performance of KNT.
