Growing and improving club rugby administration and coaching throughout the Carolinas Geographic Rugby Union is just as important, if not more important, than the growth in playing numbers. Good club administration improves player recruiting, retention, and satisfaction. Excellent coaching improves the overall playing experience for all players, thus improving player retention rates and level of competition. As the CGRU plans to introduce coach development opportunities to go along with player development opportunities.
Developing rugby in the Carolinas is important to the Carolinas Geographic Rugby Union. As part of our commitment to providing development opportunities for club administrators, coaches, and players the CGRU sets aside funding each year for at least two development camps/clinics.
