A highly successful Coaching Conference was held at Willenhall Rugby Club on Saturday, 15th August, with excellent presentations by
The Conference was opened by Staffordshire RU County President – Barry Tilston and the programme was devised by Ian Bletcher – RFU Coach Development Officer for the West Midlands.
50 coaches of varying standard representing 15 Staffordshire clubs attended, together with Coaching Society President – Vic Roebuck.
The theme coming through the presentations was SPACE INSTEAD OF CONTACT and during the whole day not one Tackle Shield was used.
All the presenters and organisers deserve credit for an excellent event and all coaches attending should have gained a great deal of knowledge which hopefully they will take back to their clubs and pass the message on.
