Hampstead Ladies seek Coach

Hampstead Ladies Rugby Club are currently looking for a committed rugby coach to be a driving force within the team for the season ahead. Having just set up a 2nds team and with high ambitions for 1st team promotion (currently sitting in National Challenge 1) we are looking for a lively and driven coach to work with our current full time coach across both teams.

We train on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8.30pm at Parliament Hill running track (NW5 1QR, nearest overgrounds Gospel Oak/Hampstead Heath, nearest tube Belsize Park) and our preseason training is already in full swing. As well as being a friendly and inclusive club we take pride in training and playing hard and have big plans for expansion, highlighting the need for another coach to make sure we can accommodate higher numbers at training and continue to develop our rugby potential.

Previous experience is desired but not essential. We are looking for someone who loves rugby, knows the game well and likes a challenge.

If you think this could be you please email hampsteadladies@yahoo.co.uk or call Mars (1st team captain) on 07834826531. Alternatively email John (Coach) johntaylor1975@hotmail.com

London French are looking for a new coach

London French was founded in 1959. The club has two teams, the first team playing in Herts/Middx 2, and the 2nd team playing in Merit Table.
The club is multinational, not just French (i.e. English spoken, and foreigners more than welcome). There os a very good social atmosphere, but they are serious about their rugby - which is why they are lookinf for a coach.

The home ground is based in Barnes, but depending on league, we get to play all around London (SW and Herts & Middlesex).
There is one 2 hour training session per week which takes place on a weekday evening. Next season we will look to innovate by alternating each week between 1 training session at the Westway (synthetic grass) and 1 training session the following week in Barnes under floodlights.

We are looking for level 1 or 2 coach willing to commit to all training sessions and at least 1 in every 2 1st team matches (perhaps all home games)

Our ideal coach will be...
· able to coach a competitive team as well as some beginners
· offer structured training sessions and approach to matches (team selection and tactics)
· be fun and open-minded, with the appropriate amount of authority

Finally, we are willing to pay between £30-50 per training session, depending on level of commitment and experience.

For further information please contact Olivier.DelpondeVaux@edfenergy.com or stephane.redon@nomura.com if interested.
