Community Rugby

Welcome to the second issue of Community Rugby E-news. This month we have introduced a 'Grants' section, where we highlight grants available to Rugby Clubs and Volunteers around Australia. We are also introducing 'Club Profile' where Clubs can nominate to be in the running for a Signed Wallabies Jersey - just by telling us about themselves!

We have had some great suggestions and feedback from the last issue, and we hope it continues to ensure we provide the best resource for you and your Rugby Club/association.

Plus - make sure you check out the updated On-Line Coaching Centre pages and meet April's Coach of the Month Greg Mico (Tuggeranong Vikings U18's)

Yours in Rugby
