RUGBY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIPS

In 2006, we have realised a  significant development to the County's efforts in taking
 Rugby to the wider Communities in Sussex.    With funding from the Rugby Union,
 Local Authorities, and significant contributions from the Clubs themselves,
 we have appointed  in each of 4 areas across the County  a full-time, qualified
'Community Rugby Coach', (CRC)
These areas are called Rugby Development Partnerships.

Each Partnership is formed by the local clubs, schools and local authority representatives to
 introduce and develop the playing of rugby at educational establishments and clubs within the Partnership area,  by the Community Rugby Coaches working under the direction of the
Rugby Development Officer, Mal Chumbley

The four partnerships will be co-ordinated by the Sussex RFU Community Rugby Committee, Chairman Immediate Past County President Allan Butcher
