We are dedicated to cultivating a competitive yet enjoyable environment, fostering a strong sense of team camaraderie within player groups, and instilling a deep identity with the Dubai Hurricanes. Respect is paramount in our interactions with players, coaches, referees, and parents. We take pride in recognising and celebrating successes, from individual skill achievements to triumphant tournament performances.
Our overarching goal for each season is to witness improvement in the core skills of every player and to create lasting memories of the joy derived from rugby. Developing and modelling core rugby values remains our top priority throughout all sections of the club.
We run training once or twice a week at the Dubai Sevens Stadium, depending on the age grade of the players. Even with a large number of volunteer coaches and certified first aiders, we actively encourage parental involvement. The club supports those interested in obtaining qualifications, whether as a first aider, coach, or manager, ensuring there are ample resources for all players to have a great time.
From U11 up, senior, specialized coaches are assigned to each age group to provide elite development pathways.
Our focus is on the growth of players, steering them towards mastery of the full 15-aside and Sevens games. We prioritise the development of essential skills such as running, passing, catching, and tackling, aiming to create well-rounded players. Actively participating in tournaments across the UAE is a key component of our strategy, providing valuable experiences for all players.
For older age groups, selection is a competitive process based on form, attitude, and attendance. Players who perform exceptionally well may find opportunities to progress to higher squads. Absence from training, matches or tournaments may influence squad placement, ensuring a dynamic and merit-based approach. We encourage squad movement to provide players with diverse environments and roles. This strategy not only supports skill development but also nurtures leadership, responsibility, and proficiency in various team positions.
