To provide the best possible experience to players from U6 upwards, the Club has announced an impressive training plan for its coaches.

Every coach to complete:

The online courses explain what concussion is, how it happens and what can be done to help players avoid injury or return safely to playing following a concussion. There are modules for coaches, match officials, players, teachers and parents/guardians. www.englandrugby.com/headcase
