POOAG Applications Close on 31st March

Somerset Rugby would like to remind all clubs, coaches, parents, and players that the window for Playing Out of Age Grade (POOAG) applications will close on Sunday, 31st March 2025.

The POOAG process is in place to ensure that any player wishing to play up or down an age grade is doing so in a safe and appropriate environment that supports their development, wellbeing, and enjoyment of the game. Applications must be completed in full and submitted by the deadline in order to be considered.

After this date, we will not be able to process further requests unless in exceptional circumstances, so we urge anyone who is planning to submit an application to do so as soon as possible.

For more information on eligibility criteria and to access the application form, please visit the Safeguarding page.
