Help Shape the Future of Age-Grade Rugby in Devon

Devon RFU is looking for enthusiastic and organised volunteers to become Age-Grade Competition Coordinators for our U14 to Colts competitions.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in delivering positive rugby experiences for hundreds of young players across Devon while helping clubs provide enjoyable, well-organised and competitive rugby opportunities.

Working alongside the Devon RFU Director of Age-Grade Rugby, Competition Coordinators oversee a specific age group competition, acting as the main point of contact for participating clubs throughout the season.

What You'll Do

As a Competition Coordinator, you will:

• Coordinate and administer competitions within a designated age group
• Support clubs throughout the season
• Publish and manage fixtures, results and league tables
• Ensure competitions operate fairly and in line with Devon RFU and RFU regulations
• Respond to club queries and help resolve issues
• Support positive communication between participating clubs
• Contribute to the ongoing development of age-grade rugby in Devon

What We're Looking For

You don't need to be a rugby expert, but we are looking for people who are:

• Organised and reliable
• Good communicators
• Fair and objective decision-makers
• Comfortable using email and basic spreadsheets
• Passionate about supporting young people in rugby
• Able to work collaboratively with clubs and volunteers
• Experience in age-grade rugby, club administration or competition management would be beneficial but is not essential

Interested?

If you would like to find out more about becoming an Age-Grade Competition Coordinator, please contact Graeme Gillard governance@devonrfu.com for an informal conversation.

Letters of application should be sent to secretary@devonrfu.com by 13th July.

Together, we can help create outstanding rugby experiences for the next generation of players.
