Please listen to this inspiring journey of three coaches providing something amazing. It needs us all to reflect on setting up a SEND rugby programme.

Dan Cottrell speaks to Darren Rea, John Peel and Gareth Lewis of Gosford All Blacks, Wallingford and Whitney rugby clubs.

There are plenty of lessons for all of us, but specifically, we focus on:

  • How to set up the programme
  • How to make it a realistic and inclusive environment
  • Easy ways to involve everyone
  • Making everyone confident
  • The pathways beyond training
  • The joy of making rugby a meaningful place to express yourself
