How is the MRP modified?

MRP teams train and play before other club divisions to reduce sensory impacts.

The MRP has been developed to take into account the MRP Players’ individual needs in terms of their:

    • 5 senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell)
    • Attention
    • Communication
    • Social skills
    • Proprioceptive and Vestibular development

Each MRP team is supported by an Allied Health Professional and Team Coach. 

 

What is GingerCloud’s MRP division structure?

The MRP has 4 divisions, within which there are specific structural, Allied Health, and coaching modifications based on the varying needs of MRP Players both on and off the field.

  • MRP Juniors (7-13 years) and MRP Colts (16-25) years) Players are individually matched with a PlayerMentor for support, guidance and friendship on the rugby field and beyond.
  • MRP 7s and MRP 7s Plus division (assessed by on-field skill ability) Players are higher skilled and are supported by PlayerMentors as a team, with no specific MRP Player having their own PlayerMentor.

What is a PlayerMentor?

PlayerMentors are disability inclusion leaders of the future. They are passionate about supporting young people with disability to be the best they can be, both on and off the field.

PlayerMentors help their MRP Player learn rugby and social skills during training and on game days.

PlayerMentors are supported by specially trained Team Coaches and Allied Health professionals.

What does a PlayerMentor do?

PlayerMentors participate and receive training both on and off the field, including

  • 2 Hours per week team training and 1 weekend game
  • Per Season, 2 Hours (total) of Online Leadership training about disability and inclusive practises to be completed at their own pace.
