Meet the Coaches
All of our coaches played rugby at some point whether in college or perhaps as a lad in the UK. They are all certified to coach youth rugby by USA Rugby. This includes extensive training and certification in coaching techniques and the rules of rugby. More importantly, instruction emphasizes safety (proper tackling techniques, concussion protocols, and more).
