"We have the opportunity to increase our investment in regional coaching and it was imperative that we identified the right coaches to take the programme to the next level.
"Our national squads and England teams will prosper with more players progressing at a younger age."
The ten coaches recruited and the coaching regions they have been allocated are:
Kendal McWade - North Region
Steven Robinson - Yorkshire Region
Peter Barber - North West Region
David Brooks - West Midlands Region
Lysa Jones - East Midlands Region

They will undergo an induction and training weekend in September before joining the regional management team to identify their squad for the winter training ahead.
Boys demonstrating the required talent and promise will have the opportunity to apply to join the regional coaching programme over the coming weeks.
