Nomads Touch Rugby Club

⭐️ A quick pause before the summer touch season to celebrate our winter development.

📈The biggest positive over our ERDS campaign is easy to see, and that’s the growth of our younger players - showing huge amounts of resilience and improvement through every round.

✅With several senior players unavailable over the series, the challenge was more than substantial, and yet our youngsters took it on with real courage. Notably our best round result came with our most skilled senior player unavailable. Their growth showed in improving performances across the rounds - with results building consistently as the series progressed.

💡For us, making progress is the ultimate pursuit and our young developers exemplified this, taking each ‘defeat’ as simply an opportunity to learn something new, before applying their new understanding at their next available opportunity.

👏We simply couldn’t be prouder of their commitment to keep improving - here recognising those who have led that charge across the whole series:

NOMADS Female MVP of the Series –
Scarlett Fait
✨⭐️ 🏆 ⭐️✨

NOMADS Male MVP of the Series –
Donnie Carpenter
✨⭐️ 🏆 ⭐️✨

🥇Both have been outstanding, not just in performance, but in consistency, attitude, and the standards they’ve set across the campaign.

🧠 As a development focused outfit, we fully recognise growth mindset as a greater predictor of future success than current level of ability, so we’re so excited to see where all of our young athletes’ journeys take them - both on and off the field.

☀️ We now turn our attention to the summer ahead. More Touch to play, more opportunities to grow, and more chances to compete, with a number of Nomads players also stepping up to represent our region at Nationals level.

🏉 The work continues…

Here we go! 🏉🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

A brilliant session last Wednesday night at Fakenham Academy- filled with energy, friendship and lots learned! And made even better by welcoming back two of our most loved Nomads players from years gone by! It felt like they’d never left, and the smiles all round said it all!

With just three training sessions left before Nomads head out for our final ERDS outing of 2025, tomorrow night’s session is a perfect chance for all of us to step up our work on fitness, decision-making and overall performance ahead of the team selection.

Whether you’re building towards competitive Touch or simply enjoying having a great run around each week, we’d love to see everyone there.
