INTEGRATING MILITARY RUGBY PLAYERS INTO CIVILIAN RUGBY CLUBS<br />
The Army Rugby Union wishes to see far more British Army personnel (male & female) playing rugby<br />
at their local community rugby club. It is in both the Armies’ and local clubs interest that players<br />
maximise their availability. However, military personnel do have a few issues that club secretaries<br />
and coaches should be aware of.<br />
1. A junior soldier is not the master of his or her own destiny and is at the call of his chain<br />
of command for duties, training and other tasks. When an individual is in their first few years in the<br />
Army they spend a lot of time training and developing their military skills. This is achieved by<br />
attending courses all over the country to learn and necessitates time away from barracks. While<br />
most of this is planned, some is quite reactionary and can be at short notice.<br />
