Specialist support coordinated by the Director of Youth Performance, plus referee development.

Governance & Coaches · Handbook page 13


Coaches have access to specialist support throughout the season, coordinated by the Director of Youth Performance. Support may include:

  • Strength & Conditioning
  • Player welfare and wellbeing
  • Mindset and performance support
  • Technical, tactical and scrum development
  • Analysis and performance review
  • Scottish Rugby pathway guidance & coach mentoring

Referee Development: GHA encourages the development of match officials alongside players and coaches. Where possible, each age group should involve qualified referees in training and match-day activities to support player learning and grow future referees.

Don't skip this

Support is a shared Club resource, coaches should never feel isolated and can access specialist expertise when required.
