Worcester Warriors Academy and Worcester Sixth Form College currently run an Achieving Academic and Sporting Excellence (AASE) Programme for players in our specified geographical area of North Midlands and Warwickshire.
Players from this large geographical area attend Worcester Sixth Form College to complete their education while the Warriors Academy delivers approximately 20 hours of rugby per week. Previous graduates of this scheme include Matt Kvesic and Andy Short.
Steve Salvin, Performance Pathway Manager at Warriors, said: “As our geographical area is so large we regularly ask players to relocate to Worcester during the week so that they are not spending large amounts of time on a daily basis travelling. The players stay with their host families during the week and return home at the weekend.
“We are looking for host families for the 2013/14 season. Host families would usually house one or two players and are reimbursed either on a weekly or nightly basis for their assistance through a structured invoicing process.
“All host families will be provided with education in nutrition and player conduct and lifestyle amongst various other areas and introductions to players and their families would be completed well in advance of the player starting College.”
Please see below for the requirements of been a host family.
Essential:
- Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Check
- Comfortable environment with cooking, washing, living facilities etc
- Live in or around the Worcester area
- Ability to build relationships with young people
