Woodrush RFC Mini & Juniors
The past 12 months at Woodrush has
once again seen some encouraging
growth within, not only the amount of
players who are registered with the
club but also the amount of qualified
coaching staff. Following on from last
years extraordinary increase in the
amount of players Woodrush can now
boast an impressive figure of over 120
young people willing to take part in the
sport of Rugby. These 120 players are
made up of boys and girls ranging from
3 ½ to 16 and it is a testament to the
club that the numbers continue to grow
year on year.
Alongside this impressive growth is
the equally exciting increase in qualified coaches (22 and climbing) who all
share a passion for the sport which is
visibly translated upon the field of play
in both training sessions and match
situations. Woodrush takes this area
of player development very seriously
ensuring that the coaches are trained
to RFU standards and qualifying in their
official training courses.
