Six Nations: Update on home tickets and away ticket applications

Apologies for the delay in confirming the home ticket allocations. E-mails were sent out last night so if you have not received anything, you were unfortunately not successful in the initial round of the ballot. I have applied to the RFU for more tickets so I will keep you posted.

 

We have also received a small allocation of tickets to the away games. Below are the details of the games and how to apply for tickets:

 

1. England v Scotland, Saturday the 6^th Feb 2016 @ 4.50pm (Priced at £65)

2. England v Italy, Sunday the 14^th Feb 2016 @ 3pm (Priced at £41)

3. England vs France, Saturday the 19^th Mar 2016 @ 9pm (Priced at £34)

 

As per the normal process, to apply for tickets please email the club by the 28th November on

internationaltickets@millwallrugby.com with the following information:

 

· Which game you would like to go to?

·  How many tickets you would like? (Please note that there is a limit of 2 tickets per member, if the game is oversubscribed but if you want more let us know anyway.)

 

In addition to the cost of the ticket the club will be charging an admin fee of £5 per tickets, payable at the time of purchase.

 

Remember these tickets cannot be bought by the general public and fetch a premium of £100+ if we sold them directly to approved hospitality providers, so make sure you take advantage of this great opportunity and privilege of being a member of the Club.

 

If we are oversubscribed preference will be given to those who volunteer for the Club.

 

To get access to these tickets, you first need to make sure your club membership is paid and up to date. We are only allowed to let you purchase tickets if you have been a member for at least 2 weeks prior to purchase.

 

Lastly remember the tickets are for personal use, if you are caught selling them on to a ticket tout or on the internet the Club will get in trouble and may well have our ticket allocation reduced or removed. Please make sure you only request tickets that you are willing to purchase as the club is committed to all ticket requests we make from the RFU.

 

Good Luck and hope to see you all soon

 

Regards,

Shaf

December Coach Education - Saracens 

We are a partner club of Saracens and they are running the following

Date: Monday 7th December 2015
Title: ADAPTIVE GAMES SARACENS EPDG COACH OBSERVATION 
With: Russell Earnshaw – Professional Player Development RFU
Time: 7-9pm
Venue – Allianz Park

The evening will be covering a range of information including;
• Observation of adaptive games, not just rugby balls!
• How to develop and adaptive game, understanding of space how to develop constraints
• Interactive input

With the performance of the All Blacks in the world cup over the past few months, the question is how do we get our English players to develop in the same way. Adaptive games allow the players to discover answers and learn how to solve issues in the game, improve their skill set and be able to perform a skill to consistent results no matter what position they play or aspire to be.

If you would like to book a place on the evening please email Lewis Sones | Head Of Rugby Delivery & Coach Development  with the following 

Name: 

DPP Group: Millwall Rugby

Age Group: 

Email address: 

Saracens also provide a video library on coaching

First Aid - Sunday November 15 

There are still some spaces on the First Aid course at the clubhouse on Sunday November 15, please contact me if interested

Games This Weekend - 14/11/2015

Millwallians,

Excellent work in getting all three men's teams and the Venus out last week - lets keep this momentum going for the rest of the season! 

This weekend there is only one mens league game, the 1st XV vs Writtle at home on Millwall Park, however if there is enough interest, we will organise a squad friendly for the 2nds and 3rds so there should be rugby for everyone! 

Please let us know your availability by emailing selection@millwallrugby.com.

Cheers,

Boris

Player General Mobility - Wednesday Nov 4th

Club Physio Patrick Carroll has prepared a quick session as part of the warm up on Wednesday's Training to provide a set of movements players can perform independently to promote general joint and soft tissue health.

These movements can be performed at home, in the dressing room or on the pitch and require no
equipment. This is not a “workout” so can be performed before training sessions and games or on
non-training nights during the week.
