Essex RFU Volunteer’s.

“There is a vast amount of work done by a lot of brilliant people volunteers, parents, coaches, teachers – at grassroots level and, without that, the game just would not develop at all.”

Sir Clive Woodward, World Cup winning former England Head Coach

You might be surprised but it takes around 90 volunteers to deliver the Counties annual plans covering many different roles, from the President to those that ensure every side gets a fixture each week.

The majority of our Volunteers have a rugby background, but we do have roles were experience of working in non rugby related fields are just as desirable to us,  The areas we cover are endless ranging from,

Arranging Coach and Referee Development.

Coaching and Managing  our development pathways and Representative Teams.

Competitons, arranging, Cup, Merit Tables, Waterfall Cups, Age Grade Leagues and Fixtures.

Business Skills, Planning, Finance, Marketing, Social Media and PR.

Core Responsibilities, Discipline, Safeguarding, Rugby Safe. and Volunteering.

If you have a skill or an idea of how you an help the CB then please do not hesitate to contact us, we will listen.
