Caledonian Cougars squads and fixtures for the Futures Cup
Congratulations to the following players who have been selected to play at Futures Cup 2016!
The Futures cup is the English regional competition designed to identify the players of the future. As this is not an international competition Scotland will play as the Caledonian Cougars.
The annual 4-day tournament will feature, Mercia Lynx, Pennine Pumas, Saxon Tigers and Wessex Leopards with squads from Scotland and Wales attending the tournament for the first time as Caledonian Cougars and Celtic Jaguars.
This tournament is a chance for the players to have experience of a major tournament. This will give the opportunity for the players to be seen in a competitive best versus best surroundings.
The competition potentially provides exposure to Great Britain programmes and coaches. It should inspire our players to set targets for their performance, and understand what they need to do to reach the next level; additionally it provides another chance to experience top level competition.
This is another step towards giving our players Great Britain opportunities following the introduction of Great Britain U23 and U21 programmes over the last year. Also, the Futures Cup gives our players an opportunity at a younger age to experience high level competition, an understanding of the level of competition that exists for GB selection in the future, and hopefully impress the watching coaches.
