The following is Seaford RFC’s new senior selection procedure. The following is what the club expects from it's playing members, as well as what the players can expect from the club. No player is excused or exempt from the following procedure.

The intention of the new procedure is to prevent team captains chasing players throughout the week, as well as forming part of a more professional management structure. Along with a maintained playing roster, we can ensure there are no oversights and players are treated fairly.

Please ensure that you understand the new policy. If you have any further questions contact Laura Peerless (contact details below).

Saturday to Tuesday

Players wishing to be considered for 1st and/or 2nd XV selection must contact Laura Peerless before midday on the Tuesday prior to the weekends fixture(s).

Players wishing to only be considered for 2nd XV selection must contact Kane Tudor before the same time as above.

Failure to do either of the above, will result in you being ineligible for 1st and 2nd XV selection.

Tuesday Night

1st and 2nd XV selection will be made on Tuesday night following training.

1st and 2nd XV selection will be firstly restricted to eligible players. This means as well as adhering to the above procedure, you must also be RFU registered and a club member. Also, if applicable, you will need to be signed off by the club physio.

1st XV selection will be made by Head Coach, John Crowley in consultation with Club Captain, Paul Burns & Forwards Coach, Leslie Hunter (with input from 2nd XV Captain, Kane Tudor).

2nd XV selection will be made by Head Coach, John Crowley in consultation with 2nd XV Captain, Kane Tudor & Forwards Coach, Leslie Hunter (with input from Club Captain, Paul Burns).

Wednesday

Players will be informed of their selection by Wednesday midday, along with logistical details for the weekend fixture(s).

Wednesday to Saturday

Players that have been selected for 1st or 2nd XV, but subsequently, find themselves unavailable, must contact John Crowley at the earliest opportunity. John will then notify the effected captain(s) and a replacement will be found.

The new procedures also involve a player roster where we will ensure that players wishing to play and attend training, do not go any longer than 2 weeks without a game.

Players injured in a game or training, must be assessed by the club physiotherapist before they can be eligible for selection.

If you are unable to attend club training (Tuesday) or are likely to arrive later than 7:15pm please inform John Crowley or Leslie Hunter. Failure to do so may act against you when it comes to selection.
