SRUSR hosted a round table forum at its October monthly members’ meeting at Stafford RFC and invited three local coaches to attend.
The coaches – Darren Mottershead (Stafford RFC), Chris Rowley (Stoke RFC) and Jason Powell (Vesyans RFC) – provided their individual and collective perspectives on a range of issues that they see on the pitch, including the breakdown, game values and effective communication. This was interspersed by questions from the referees and match observers present and gave the coaches and match officials the chance to hear and better understand the position of the other party.
A big ‘Thank You’ to Darren, Chris and Jase for their contributions to a very positive session, which we hope will not be the last!
