Course Veterans

I really struggled with my confidence in my current understanding of the game and knowledge of coaching
ideas however the RFU and Rugby for heroes team made sure they implemented practical coaching sessions which
really helped with my progression. I have really enjoyed meeting new people and now have a network of people to speak with. I hope that I can now coach for the corps team.
I’d recommend it to all service leavers with an interest in rugby and with any skill level. The course is adaptable and
some excellent information on transitioning.

Rugby For Heroes, a local charity supporting service personnel as they transition into civilian life, has joined forces with businesses in Gloucester and Cheltenham to host Beyond the Uniform, an inaugural networking event for ex-military professionals. The event took place at The Roastery in Quedgeley Business Park, bringing together key figures from the business community to create career pathways for veterans.
