Review of Phase One
PH: Try to avoid future use of Mosely Coaches for quality assurance & cost
Programme slightly rushed-we have more lead in time for this phase
Schools: Those that attended sessions at the club venues really enjoyed it
Numbers of attendees were generally good, however there was a drop off: Need to look at why?
Festivals: We missed an opportunity with the festival to really sell the clubs: This was tackled as an new agenda item: see below
DS: The monitoring/registration system wasn’t adhered to. A coaches contract will be drawn up which will require required monitoring info to be submitted before payment is made.

The phase two coaching programme will be a foundation course/introduction to TAG rugby. It will be a six-week programme that will be continuous (excluding Whitsun h/t). The programme will commence on Tuesday 17th May. (Coaches unavailable to start on the Mon 16th so the Monday programme will begin & end one week later). This makes the following dates available:
>Tues: 17th, 24th May, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th June
>Wed: 18th, 25th May, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th June

All the sessions will be delivered on the school site during curriculum hours (we are unable to over after school sessions due to coach availability)
End of phase festival:
Each club will have an end of phase tag tournament.
North: Wednesbury RC. 5th July. 1p.m Start
South: TBC Either 5th/6th/7th July
Community Rugby Coach
The potential of employing a community rugby coach is being explored. We was looking into the potential of ‘matching’ our current grant and employing a 3-yr CRC for 2-days per week. However, our current grant can’t be matched.
TAG course
It has been identified that some of our new coaches need to be put onto a TAG course. We will put on our own at Wednesbury RC. The date is still to be confirmed. Promotional details will be sent out when confirmed.
Date of next meeting (next 2 meetings)
8th June
6.30p.m Start
