Parent Volunteers
All the current coaches give up their free time for the good of our youth players to develop their skills and make friendships.
If anyone would like to assist with any aspect of the Dungannon Youth Rugby (as not everyone wants to be a coach!) your help would be valued and appreciated.
As we don’t want to cap year groups due to lack of coaches / parent support.
We need the following NEW support for the upcoming season;
· Team Managers – admin on match days
· Youth Physio – match days
· Coaches – full coaching support will be available for new coaches
· Home Games - Car Park Stewards
· Home Games – Catering Support
· Home Games – Photographers
If you can help, please get in contact.
Match Day Sponsors
Why not be a Youth Match Day Sponsor?
Get your business some exposure via our Facebook page, parent groups and travelling teams. Ask a coach for more information.
If any of the above is unclear or you need more clarification don’t hesitate to contact your year group coaches at training.
