The Old Belvedere U20s was established to transition players out of school rugby and into club rugby.
We create an environment where:
- Players continue to play and enjoy the game
- The club can help players fulfil their aspirations whatever they may be.
- Develop home grown talent for our Senior Squad and Junior Teams.
In the last number of years many of our U20s players have played for Ireland age grade sides, have gone onto represent the club in the All Ireland League. We have a number of players with the various Professional Academies and we are in constant contact with the coaches in these clubs briefing them on player development and performances. We also get feedback from these coaches as to what the players need to be developing to further their careers.
What we offer:
Year round rugby and development calendar.
AIL Exposure for u20s – 17 played for senior squad last season
Stability and alignment for coaching structures
