Welcome From Coventry – A City of Rugby<br />
“<br />
As part of Coventry’s ten year<br />
sports strategy, Coventry – A City<br />
of Rugby” is an initiative to promote<br />
rugby and its core values, with the<br />
objective of making Coventry one of the<br />
leading cities in the world for every level of<br />
the sport by 2023 (rugby’s 200th anniversary).<br />
Unique to Coventry, it is a formal collaboration between all<br />
organisations in the city that have an interest in the game. These<br />
organisations are working together in partnership, to form a coherent<br />
framework for the development of rugby at all levels.<br />
Combining both Rugby Union and Rugby League – which is pioneering<br />
for Coventry and across the UK, the initiative aims to join up, promote<br />
and celebrate the whole continuum of Rugby from playing, coaching,<br />
volunteering or officiating, across schools, local clubs through to the<br />
elite level, with our three main professional clubs - Coventry Rugby,<br />
Wasps and Coventry Bears Rugby League.<br />
As one of the cities designated “key sports”, City of Rugby will work to<br />
increase participation in the game across all levels in the city – making<br />
it more accessible to women and girls, those with disabilities and those<br />
from non-traditional rugby playing backgrounds. Working closely with<br />
all key partners, Engage! has been commissioned by the City of Rugby<br />
Steering Group to co-ordinate the initiative, acting as the independent<br />
guardian of the strategy in partnership with the Rugby Football Union<br />
(RFU) and Rugby Football League (RFL).<br />
As a City of Rugby, Coventry aims to:<br />
1. Inspire more people regularly to take part in rugby or adapted<br />
formats of the game.<br />
2. Implement coherent and coordinated structures for participation,<br />
coaching and development.<br />
3. Increase the number of qualified and experienced club and<br />
community rugby coaches, volunteers and referees.<br />
4. Identify and support gifted and talented rugby players to reach<br />
their playing potential.<br />
5. Ensure that all of the city’s rugby facilities are modern, of high<br />
quality and accessible.<br />
6. Develop performance rugby and attract high profile rugby<br />
events to the city.<br />
7. Promote rugby in the city through effective rugby partnerships<br />
and communications.<br />
8. Make Coventry a better place to live, work, study and visit.<br />
On behalf of all the City of Rugby partners, we hope you enjoy<br />
this publication, aimed at bringing together all the city wide rugby<br />
opportunities you and your organisation can engage with.<br />

Welcome From Coventry Sports Network<br />
“<br />
As chair of Coventry Sport<br />
Network (CSN), it has been great<br />
to see all the partners come together<br />
to develop the Coventry Sports Strategy<br />
and to witness the impact it is having<br />
throughout the city.<br />
The CSN has been working with key partners to develop key sports<br />
throughout the city, and the City of Rugby is a good example of<br />
an holistic approach to a sport. The “City of Rugby” initiative has<br />
seen huge growth over the last 6 months, allowing for both Rugby<br />
League and Union to work collaboratively to create a total rugby<br />
offer for Coventry.<br />
Working with the City council’s Director of Education and a number<br />
of the City’s schools, we are developing an education sports strategy<br />
that will help to increase our sporting offer to all young people.<br />
We aim to launch this strategy in 2017.<br />
On behalf of the CSN I would like to thank all the partners for their<br />
time and dedication to the initiative, and would encourage all<br />
schools to take up any offers or programmes that are available as<br />
part of the “City of Rugby” partnership.<br />

The Engage! Values Programme<br />
Engage! Coventry is an educational programme designed to<br />
use the core values of rugby to provide social and educational<br />
benefits as a way of developing healthy, well-rounded,<br />
confident young people, who have greater access to opportunities<br />
and a real sense of belonging within their local communities.<br />
Engage! also aims to bring rugby coaching to every child in the city<br />
and works with a range of partner organisations across Coventry,<br />
including the Rugby Football Union (RFU), Rugby Football League (RFL),<br />
Wasps, Coventry Rugby and Coventry Bears.<br />
Engage! has been developed and is hosted by Coventry Sports<br />
Foundation, funded through the financial support of the Millerchip<br />
Family Fund and supports the national Ofsted requirements around<br />
“Character Education”.<br />
Our Values<br />
Rugby’s unique ethos is built around five core values, which lie at the<br />
heart of the game and are embodied by all of its participants, both<br />
on and off the field of play. These values underpin all of the Engage!<br />
Coventry strategic objectives and activities.<br />
Participants receive high-quality rugby skills coaching but the core<br />
focus will be on delivering ‘value-based’ programmes that facilitate<br />
character development to enable social and educational benefit,<br />
whilst also improving the physical well-being of participants.<br />
Our Objectives - Engage! Coventry has five key objectives:<br />
1. To improve the educational and social development of school-age<br />
children, with a particular focus on those who are disengaged<br />
or excluded.<br />
2. To improve the physical well-being of children, young people and<br />
families, particularly those from communities with pronounced<br />
health inequalities.<br />
3. To help young people develop the necessary skills, confidence<br />
and social behaviours to pursue opportunities for further education,<br />
training and employment.<br />
4. To promote rugby and its core values to non-traditional rugby<br />
playing groups and to use the sport as a means of encouraging<br />
social inclusion.<br />
5. To develop and grow a cohesive ‘Coventry Rugby Community’<br />
that promotes the game and its values as a means of connecting<br />
communities and cultures.<br />
The core values behind Rugby Union are proven to have a vast range<br />
of benefits and create positive impacts on a player’s life. The Engage!<br />
programme and the “City of Rugby” initiative, is working to highlight these<br />
values, to develop young people in all communities across Coventry.<br />
We also aim to promote the sport and increase participation in rugby<br />
league and union – aiming work in schools to engage every child in<br />
Coventry with the game and building a better city through embedding<br />
the values as part of people’s everyday lives.<br />

Promoting Rugby’s Core Values<br />
INTEGRITY<br />
Rugby is a sport built around<br />
honesty and fairness, where players<br />
must be magnanimous in victory<br />
and gracious in defeat. It teaches<br />
players to work hard in pursuit of<br />
success, both on the field of play<br />
and in their everyday lives.<br />
DISCIPLINE<br />
Discipline is central to rugby, as<br />
is evidenced by the fact that the<br />
rules of the game are still referred<br />
to as laws. Rugby teaches the<br />
importance of adhering to rules,<br />
an attribute that all participants are<br />
expected to demonstrate both on<br />
and off the field.<br />
ENJOYMENT<br />
Rugby is a fast and exciting sport<br />
that generates great passion<br />
amongst its participants. It is also<br />
very sociable and provides an<br />
opportunity to make enriching<br />
friendships with people from diverse<br />
backgrounds and communities.<br />
RESPECT<br />
Respect is of the utmost<br />
importance to rugby, as players<br />
are taught to show respect for<br />
their teammates, the opposition,<br />
their coaches, the match officials<br />
and themselves. They must work<br />
to earn and retain the respect of<br />
the rugby community by setting<br />
good examples both on and off<br />
the pitch.<br />
TEAMWORK<br />
Rugby brings together a group<br />
of individuals and moulds them<br />
into a single unit, where they learn<br />
to support and encourage one<br />
another in pursuit of a common<br />
goal. This team spirit cuts across<br />
cultural, geographic and religious<br />
differences and often leads to the<br />
creation of lifelong friendships.<br />

RFU CBRE All Schools Programme<br />
Creating a positive legacy for one million children through<br />
rugby and its core values.<br />
Rugby union is a game for All Schools – everyone can play it and<br />
every school can teach it! CBRE All Schools has been developed<br />
by the RFU to increase the amount of rugby in schools, and to<br />
encourage new players to join local clubs.<br />
CBRE All Schools aims to increase the number of schools playing<br />
rugby union by taking the game into 750 state secondary schools,<br />
with the aim of making school life happier and healthier, reducing<br />
anti-social behaviour, enhancing learning and increasing selfesteem<br />
for students.<br />
Investing in the next generation<br />
CBRE All Schools is one of the RFU’s major development<br />
programmes from the 2015 Rugby World Cup; it presents a oncein-a-generation<br />
opportunity to deliver the greatest participatory<br />
legacy for the game.<br />

programme please contact:<br />

and who are of the required standard and who have the support<br />
and authorisation of the school.<br />

Additionally, the City of Rugby is proud to support the national This Girl<br />
Can programme with CSW Sport. This Girl Can is a national campaign<br />
developed by Sport England and a wide range of partnership<br />
organisations to inspire more women and girls to become active, and<br />

Red Roses Lead The Way For Women’s Rugby in England<br />
The RFU has laid out its intent for the women’s game over the<br />
next four years, with the Red Roses unveiled as the new identity<br />
for England Women, to inspire more people to get involved<br />
whether playing or supporting the women’s game.<br />
Today 26,000 women and girls regularly play contact rugby,<br />
11,000 more than when England Women lifted the Rugby World<br />
Cup in 2014.<br />
With over 300 rugby clubs across the country now hosting<br />
women and girls’ teams, there are numerous opportunities for<br />
women and girls across England to participate in rugby whether<br />
that be sevens, 15s or O2 Touch.<br />
As they enter their World Cup defence campaign, England<br />
Women now have 48 professional player contracts, including for<br />
the first time ever in the 15-a-side game.<br />
As the Red Roses set out on the road to the World Cup in Ireland<br />
next year, the RFU has outlined its ambition to improve the player<br />
pathway for the development of the international game.<br />

Driving Rugby Forward - Be A Young Rugby Ambassador<br />
Being part of the Young Rugby Ambassador (YRA) programme gives<br />
you the opportunity to gain recognition for your involvement in<br />
supporting rugby and there are countless ways to get involved!<br />
Who can be a YRA?<br />
Anybody aged 14-25 who wants to support rugby in their local area.<br />
This can be at your club, school, college, university or within your<br />
community; where ever you feel you can contribute. You can be<br />
a group of mates or just on your own supported by your club, tutor,<br />
teacher or committee. It could be refereeing a match once a week<br />
or helping out at an event once a year. There’s a huge variety of ways<br />
to support rugby in your area, from managing a club’s social media to<br />
coaching mini’s and juniors.<br />
How it works?<br />
The YRA programme is in partnership with VInspired, who provide the<br />
tool to set yourself a goal for the number of hours you want to complete<br />
and will help you keep track of what you have achieved. The more<br />
hours you give, the more given back to you. The milestones you will<br />
receive reward are; 10,30,50 and 100 hours. You will receive certificates<br />
and exclusive YRA merchandise.<br />
How to get involved?<br />
Register with England Rugby at www.englandrugby.com to join the YRA.<br />
Additionally, if you have any questions about any of these roles,<br />
email: YRA2015@RFU.com.<br />
