Coach Support & Specialist Resources

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

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.

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