One of the cornerstones of RMRFC’s success is the guidance and mentorship provided by dedicated coaches. Volunteer coaches, often former rugby players, instill a sense of purpose and discipline in each player. They not only teach the technical aspects of the game but also emphasize life lessons such as leadership, resilience, and perseverance. The coach becomes a trusted figure who helps these young athletes grow not only as rugby players but as individuals. We are always looking for more parents willing to help coach. If you are interested, please reach out to us today.
