We travel the country to put on energising coach development evenings for grassroots rugby coaches.
No lectures. No jargon. Just honest, useful coaching conversation with experts and peers who understand exactly what you're dealing with.
Our Head Coach, Dan Cottrell, leads each evening, sharing session structures, drills and practical approaches that work at grassroots level — for all ages, all abilities, all the messy realities of volunteer coaching.
There's time for Q&A, open discussion, and the kind of peer conversation you rarely get standing on a touchline. Oh, and bring your boots, because when the weather's good, we try to get out on the pitch for some hands on demonstrations!
You'll leave with something concrete for your next session and hopefully a bit more energy for the sessions after that.
Will you come to my club?
If you can get 20+ coaches in a room, ask your CC or M&J Chair to drop us a line and see if we can arrange a future visit.
Is it free?
Yes. 100% free. Just register to secure your spot.
Do I need to be an RCW subscriber?
No. Open to any grassroots coach.
How long does it run?
Around two hours from 7pm.
What level of coach is it for?
Any. Brand new volunteers and experienced coaches both get something out of it.
