Male Mini, Junior or Youth Community Coach of the Year
This award is for an outstanding male Volunteer Community Coach for mini, junior or youth teams who has significantly contributed to the skills development of the children they coach. The finalists have delivered regular quality coaching sessions, meeting the needs of all participants by embedding inclusive practices into their sessions, helping to remove barriers to participation, provide rugby opportunities for all and reduce inequalities in the sport.
They have helped children to develop their skills, build confidence and resilience and develop a positive attitude towards rugby. They have adopted a person-centred approach to coaching, taking time to understand each child’s needs and goals to help them to reach their potential. Whilst doing all of the above, they have also been an inspiration and a positive role model. They have invested time and energy in their own development and hold a recognised WRU qualification appropriate to the level at which they coach.
The finalists are: • Andrew Maunder - Old Illtydian RFC • Gavin O’Shea - Trimsaran RFC • Patrick James - Newport Saracens RFC • Jason Cook - Tylorstown RFC • Chris McGaughey - Treorchy RFC • Gareth Parry - Clwb Rygbi Llangefni / Monstars Hub
