"Start Rugby" - and help develop your girls team!

A number of courses - particular aimed at volunteers who may want to be more "hands on" in their involvement - are coming up in the north of the county.

Letchworth are hosting a "Start Rugby" course on the evening of 15th January, a repeat of a course which took place at Welwyn on 11th October.

This is a new course aimed at anyone interested in helping to coach or introduce new players to the game, but perhaps not interested or able to commit to become a fully qualified coach at this stage. As such its ideal for any parents or players who want to get more involved in helping the game - and girls' section - develop and grow. The course takes just one evening, is apparently quite active and hands on, and at the end of it you take away not only the experience but a big pack of drills and games for groups of all sizes.

There is also a "tag" rugby traning course coming up at Royston RFC on 12th February, and sessions on "tackle safety & coaching contact" at Letchworth on 11th December and Stevenage on 19th March.

Clubs will normally pay all course fees - so if you are interested contact your club's coach training officer.
