Congratulations to next seasons U13 players Lewis Brown (Sutton Grammer) and Inigo Alberts (The Ashcombe) on being selected to join the Harlequins Development Player Programme after recently attending trials held at Surrey Sports Park". 26 players were selected out out the 105 players attending the Academy trials.

The Developing Player Programme (DPP) at Harlequins is the stage of the national academy put in place as part of the RFU's strategic plan.
The role of the DPP is to work closely with county coaches and development officers to identify players considered to have the talent to benefit from, and progress through, the programme. It is important to recognise that this is not just another squad. The DPP provides an entry into a long-term development programmer which in some cases will lead towards the very highest level of the game.
