Welcome to the LDP!
The Leadership Development Pathway (LDP) is a programme to develop young people’s leadership skills through involvement in rugby to cultivate skills and experiences beyond the field of play.
What are we trying to achieve?
The LDP looks to provide the community and club with future leaders, coaches, referees and volunteers by providing pathways similar to the DoE. It equips young people of all diversities and mental abilities with the skills to become effective leaders in all walks of life – personnel development, confidence, communication and teamwork skills. The skills developed in the rugby environment will be enhanced with community projects and volunteering.
Mentorship - Under 18s
Following completion of your awards and attaining your qualification, you will be asked to mentor specific participants in Bronze, silver and gold. As part of this level you will be put forward for the RFU mentorship quaification to support others within your club. You will be guided by a member of the PRUFC committee and given all the skills you need to help others in the community.
LDP Stash
Once you start on your pathway, you will be provided with a login to the website, this is where you will find all your activities and associated timelines. The website will be available on your mobile allowing you to gain sign off on each activity you complete.
As part of the pathway, you will be provided with a hoodie and t-shirt linked to your particular pathway. This will be renewed each year.
Costs
There is a cost for being part of the LDP, although we have this year managed to subsidize some of the activities and therefore reducing the cost. As part of the LDP certain events you will run will also feed back into the LDP to allow PRUFC to subsidize some of the activities.
Each Participant will be asked to pay an annual fee of:
Bronze – £45
Silver – £55
Gold £65
Mentors – £55
