Guidance & Training

Rugby union is all about people. Whether coaching the Under 8s on Sunday mornings, serving
behind the clubhouse bar or taking on a committee role, your workforce will be happier and
more confident if appointed to appropriate roles and helped with suitable training.
The RFU can help.

Volunteer Overview

No fewer than 100,000 people support rugby in England,
with well over 90% of rugby’s total workforce made up of
volunteers, bringing a contribution in hours of some
£30 million every year. This in kind contribution could
be worth as much as £20k to an average rugby club.
Volunteering should be an enjoyable experience, with
efforts recognised and rewarded.
