Coaching team

Coaches

Vale Vultures is led by a dedicated team of local volunteers who are passionate about rugby and committed to giving children a positive experience in the game. Our coaches work together to create a safe, encouraging and well-organised environment where players can develop skills, grow in confidence and enjoy being part of the squad.

Our coaches give their time to help players learn, improve and enjoy junior rugby in the right way, with an emphasis on teamwork, effort, encouragement and enjoyment.

  • Positive, encouraging coaching

  • Age-appropriate sessions for U11 players
