Hello,
Hopefully you are in the middle of a wonderful holiday season! As we wrap up the year, I'm excited to announce that the coaching appointments for the upcoming season have been finalized!
As you may have heard, Budd Bay Rugby has been working hard over the last few months to shift our coaching paradigm from a single head coach per team, with occasional assistant coaches, to a more flexible "pool" of coaches. The idea is that Budd Bay will ultimately have a large number of coaches who have all be trained in the same coaching style and can, on any given day, coach any of our teams to success. This change was spurred by a lack of coaches across the board, along with a desire to see a consistent coaching style from all of our team leaders. This shift means that we no longer have head coaches, but rather have a team of coaches, some of them focussing on particular teams.
Heading up our new coaching staff is Pete Sullivan. If you have any questions about coaching, or desire to be one, please email him! He would love to get you involved in our program.

If you see a coach, please give them a warm thanks for committing to spending hours and hours during the cold, dark, wet evenings, along with their Saturdays, to help our players excel! And if you are at all interested - we really need more coaches! Not every coach can make every practice, so we are always looking for more hands helping to ensure fun and safety had by all
