Training Nights

The Coventry University Rugby League players use our facilities for training on a Monday night. We've been considering the possibility of doing some joint training session with them. Could you please let Stuart or myself know whether doing some training on Monday is OK for you!!

Training this week is STILL on TUESDAY!!!!!!

Coaching Courses

As most people know, Stuart Barr has come back to us in a playing capacity but he has also agreed to take on a coaching role and is taking responsibility for the forwards.

Coventrians have some agressive plans and as part of it we are looking at starting up a colts side with a possible feeder to them. That means that we are looking for coaches to look after these age groups and we need at least 2 RFU qualified coaches per team with at least one in each team as a level 2.

We will also need to have some more qualified referees as we will not be able to rely on WRFU to supply all our needs for Sunday games!

If you are interested in becoming a coach or a referee, will you let me know a soon as possible, either in person on Tuesday evening or Saturday or call me on 0116 233 4388.
