SETA CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS THE INTENTION ​ Over the past few months, SETA has been in the process of planning regional-based competitions to deliver to the region. Initially, this was based upon protected weekends from the England Touch Calendar for specific regional events. ​ However, due to COVID measures developing and changing, our plans are always evolving and adapting. So this note will address the plans to launch our SETA Club Championships! TOURNAMENT PLAN ​ 2 rounds 3 games per round Teams: MO / WO / Juniors Groups split based on experience Venue: Horsham Each event will be Men’s and Women’s in the Opens, Juniors will depend on interest. Date: 29th of May & 5th of June. ENTRIES ​ Registration for this event is now closed. ​ REFEREES ​ SETA will be looking for support from as many referees as possible for this event, where the aim is to provide meaningful coaching and opportunities for badge upgrades. Expression of interest WHY THIS STRUCTURE? ​ More appropriate level games - players get to play in close games An opportunity for coach and club upskilling Referee development Provides a meaningful opportunity for Nationals team selection Reduced travel time relative to NTS No need for accommodation WHY NOW? ​ COVID restrictions will likely be based around travel distance A need to reduce the cost for playing quality touch Opportunity to implement a better player experience for those in the South East Likely strategic direction from England will be to place higher importance on regions We thank you for your collaboration. We cannot emphasise enough, these plans are likely to be adapted depending on COVID restrictions and implementation of an England Touch calendar. However, we have a massive opportunity as a region to make a positive change and drive the quality for the rest of the country. Please direct any questions or queries to performance@SETA.org.uk Kind Regards, SETA Performance Team Published 26.02.2021

GAME KNOWLEDGE The game of touch is built on fundamental principles and game trends are constantly evolving. As a result, our coaches look for a firm grasp of core game knowledge and will help to support players with an awareness of current policies and ways of playing and thinking. Moving forward your game understanding will be supported by some of the best players and coaches in England.

ABILITY TO PLAY TO SPACE As the ball carrier, and as supporting runners, you should be able to identify, move and execute into space. Our coaches are looking for players who can capitalise on opportunities. Decision making and situational reads are a key skill which our coaches will develop and look for throughout our squad selection phase.

STRENGTH IN THE ROLL BALL The roll ball is core to touch and gives us the platform for the exciting aspects of play that we all enjoy. Strength, stability and consistency are critical fundamentals for elite touch players, and our coaches will be closely assessing your roll ball approach, roll technique and post ruck movement.
