Introduction'to'the'Dubai'Exiles'Under'9s'
'The'Dubai'Exiles'Under'9s'is'an'important'part'of'the'Minis'and'Youth'section'of'
the'Dubai'Exiles'Rugby'Club.''Under'9/Year'4'Rugby'is'the'first'year'of'contact'rugby'and'all'tournaments,'league'games'and'friendlies'will'be'seven'a'side'contact'rugby.''
(See'Section'6'for'a'guide'to'the'rules'and'law'variations'for'Under'9s/Year'4)'
'
For'the'2013/2014'Season'Phil&Gould'will'be'the'Head'Coach'for'the'Under'9s'and'
will'be'assisted'by'the'following'coaches:ZZ'
'
Mark'Allen'Paver'' Simon'Ferguson' Craig'Williams' Danny'Fehnhert' Thomas'Inker' Mike'Keifer' Gareth'Lloyd'
'
'
In'addition,'there'are'a'couple'of'willing'Parents'who'also'help'to'hold'tackle'bags,'
and'provide'much'needed'encouragement'
'
Philosophy&
'Our'philosophy'is'to'play'simple'exciting'and'expansive'rugby'at'pace.''We'are'
committed'to'teaching'in'a'fun,'inclusive'and'competitive'environment,'developing'
the'players'understanding'of'the'game'and'providing'the'best'opportunity'for'player'
development'and'growth.''
'
This'year'our'ambition'is'to'run'3'teams'for'league'matches'and'Tournaments'
(where'possible''sometimes'our'tournament'entry'is'restricted).''Matches'are'7'aZ
side'and'each'team'will'need'a'matchZday'squad'of'approximately'12'players.'''
'
Selection'for'these'Squads'will'be'ability'streamed,'but'the'coaches'also'place'great'emphasis'on'the'Exiles'Core'Values'(see'below),'regular'training'and'player'
development.'The'strength'of'each'team'is'a'reflection'of'competition'for'places,'
and'as'coaches'we'want'to'see'players'develop'through'the'teams.''We'are'very'
much'expecting'and'hoping'that'the'shape'and'make'up'of'the'first'team'squad'
evolves'over'the'season.'
'
Our'Core'Values'are'H.E.A.T.&

Honesty' Honesty,'Equity'and'Fair'play'in'everything'that'we'do,'our'approach'
to'training','our'conduct'at''matches'and'tournaments'and'our'onZ
pitch'attitude''
Effort' Maximum'Effort'at'all'times.''If'we'train'hard,'playing'will'be'easy'
Attention' Concentration'and'Attention.''Messing'around'in'training,'means'we'
mess'around'on'the'pitch'
Trust' Trust'your'team'mates.''Trust'them'in'defence'to'make'the'tackle,'
Trust'them'in'attack.''If'they'are'in'a'better'position'than'you','make'
that'pass.'
'
'
The'Coaches'were'so'impressed'during'the'Summer'Academy,'how'hard'the'players'
worked'and'how'they'understood'and'embodied'these'Core'Values.'''We'will'be'
looking'to'reinforce'this'again'over'the'coming'season.'

Coaches'Training'Notes''
This'season'there'will'be'two'training'sessions'per'week:Z'
'
Friday'Morning'8.30am''10.00am'(Pitch'3,'7s'stadium)'
Sunday'Evening'5.30pm''7.00pm'(Pitch'7,'7s'Stadium)'
'
There'is'a'busy'fixture'list'this'season'and'many'of'these'fixtures'will'be'held'on'
Fridays'restricting'the'training'that'can'be'done'at'this'session.''It'is'therefore,'really'
important'that'we'get'as'many'to'attend'the'Sunday'sessions'as'possible.'
'
Our'General'aim'for'coaching'this'year'is'to'continue'to'develop'the'players'
understanding'of'the'game'and'the'key'rugby'skills'required'as'part'of'full'contact'
rugby.''In'addition,'this'year'we'will'begin'to'develop'players'into'positions'which'
will'help'with'their'understanding'of'the'game'and'prepare'them'well'for'future'rugby.''The'team'of'7'will'be'made'up'of'3'forwards,'a'scrum'half,'a'fly'half'and'two'
Oustide'Backs'(centre/wing).''
'
The'Friday'Training'Session'will'focus'on'core'rugby'skills'at'Under'9/Year'4'level'
with'emphasis'on'developing'the'players'understanding'of'the'game'dynamics.''
'
The'Sunday'Session'will'be'more'positionally'specific'(Forwards'and'Backs)'and'
squad'focused'(preparing'specific'teams'for'upcoming'fixtures'and'developing'player'
relationships'within'these'teams).'
'The'Coaches'will'continue'(as'we'have'done'in'previous'years)'to'ensure'that'Rugby'
at'Exiles'is'great'fun,'however,'we'do'expect'this'year'that'the'rugby'will'become'a'
little'more'competitive.''This'is'the'nature'of'contact'rugby'and'also'reflective'of'the'
physical'and'emotional'development'of'8'and'9'year'old'boys!'

'
One'thing'that'will'become'more'important'this'season,'than'in'previous'seasons'is'
fitness.''League'Matches'this'year'will'be'two'15'minute'halves,'and'from'watching'
some'of'the'matches'from'last'years'Under'9s'and'talking'to'their'coaches,'fitness'
(or'lack'of'it)'is'a'big'differentiator'in'the'last'5'or'so'minutes'of'each'half.''There'will'
be'a'fitness'theme'throughout'all'of'our'training'sessions.''I'am'hoping'to'continue'
the'relationship'that'we'developed'in'our'Summer'Academy'with'Marcus'Smith'from'
InnerFight.''Marcus'played'for'Dubai'Exiles'from'the'Age'of'5'years'old'right'through'
to'Senior'Rugby,'he'played'professionally'in'Australia'for'two'seasons'and'he'
captained'the'Combined'Gulf'national'team'here.''Marcus'now'runs'Inner'Fight'
which'is'a'sports'performance'and'fitness'company.''Player'Fitness'is'also'
somewhere'where'parental'support'is'extremely'influential.''If'fitness'and'good'
health'can'be'reinforced'at'home'it'will'make'the'work'we'do'on'the'training'ground'
that'much'more'beneficial.''Perhaps'most'importantly'(and'most'probably'the'most'
difficult)'is'to'reinforce'healthy'eating'habits'and'good'nutrition.''This'is'vital'to'
maintaining'good'fitness.''I'am'discussing'with'Marcus,'how'he'may'be'able'to'help'us'all'with'nutrition'advice'for'our'children.''''
'
It'is'extremely'important'to'us'as'a'squad'and'as'a'club'that'as'supporters,'parents,'
coaches'and'mentors'that'we'continue'to'set'the'highest'standards'as'an'example'to'
our'children.''At'competition'time'(tournaments'and'league'matches)'tensions'can'
sometimes'run'high'and'it'is'easy'to'be'carried'away'in'the'emotion'of'matches.''It'
needs'to'be'remembered'that'all'the'coaches'and'all'the'referees'from'all'the'clubs'
are'purely'voluntary,'and'I'would'like'our'club,'and'our'age'group'to'set'the'
benchmark'in'ensuring'that'opposition'teams'(players,'coaches,'supporters'and'
management)'are'treated'with'nothing'but'respect'and'dignity,'regardless'of'any'other'match'day'influences.''I'know'I'can'count'on'your'support'for'this.'''
'
Finally'I'would'like'to'think'that'I'am'approachable,'and'I'really'do'welcome'the'
thoughts,'questions'and'observations'from'all'of'the'parents'about'any'aspect'of'the'
season.''I'am'committed'to'the'most'successful'season'possible'(success'being'
judged'in'many'ways)'and'would'hope'that'we'can'all'work'together'as'parents,'
supporters'and'mentors'to'provide'the'most'beneficial'environments'for'our'
children'to'flourish'on'the'rugby'field.''
