England U18 Women’s head coach James Cooper and assistant coach Ollie Perry have confirmed their 47-player squad for a three-day camp at Loughborough University.
Commencing this Friday (12th), Alix Ahad, Sophia Frost, Lily Girdler, Fern Murray, Phoebe Shipley, Rowan Turney and Elspeth Whyte will experience their first U18 camp this weekend.
Charlotte Brookes, Honey Kerslake and Lily Pereira dos Santos continue their development under Cooper and Perry as the three previously capped players involved.
England U18 Women return for their next camp at Bisham Abbey National Sports centre on Friday 23rd January. Further information on future England U18 Women’s fixtures, including the 2026 U18 Six Nations Festival, will be communicated in due course.
James Cooper, England Women’s U18 Head Coach said: “We are very excited to confirm the players attending our December development camp.
“This is our second development damp of the year, and we are looking forward to building on the work done in the first camp based around our England Rugby Framework with a lens on ‘Attacking Best Space’ this camp.
“It will be great working with those returning from last time, but also the new players into camp which shows we are constantly watching player development around the country in both the ACE and PDG.”
