Thank you for volunteering as a coach at Tunbridge Wells RFC. Coaching a really rewarding experience and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

There are a few point of administration that need to be picked-up:

• Set you up as a coach in the RFU Game Management System (GMS)
• Apply for disclosure and barring service (DBS)
• Add you to the youth coaches group in spond

These are all covered in this guide.

Once you have decided coaching is for you, we hope that you will undertake the appropriate training. These can be booked through the RFU Website, the club is happy to refund the cost. For new coaches we would recommend:

• head-case (online)
• coaching tag rugby, or coaching contact-rugby
