Awesome effort from whole club volunteers

On behalf of our club, I just wanted to say Thank You. We're absolutely chuffed.

A proud day for all who make their contribution to ensure Exmouth Rugby remains a true community club. Without all your valuable help and support, including; volunteers both front of house and behind the scenes, coaches, players, family and friends across junior to seniors, we would not have achieved re-accreditation. We greatly appreciate your involvement in all aspects of running our rugby, on and off the field. YOU DID THIS.

A magnificent effort from all at Exmouth Rugby Club, we have received re accreditation from the Rugby Football Union. Alongside Clubmark, for community sports clubs.

The Rugby Club Accreditation scheme is based on six of key drivers, crucial to running a strong club;

  • Retaining & Developing new players, recruiting players, recruiting and retaining high quality coaches, volunteers & referees.
  • Effective & efficient facilities, effective efficient management and governance. Also integration within the local community.

The award was presented by Devon RFU President, Ken Jeffery, during his speech he commented that this was a ’whole club’ award. Specifically, in recognition of all involved in Exmouth RFC.

With the core values of rugby: Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship along with integration with the community, together they represent the component parts of a strong, sustainable club.

Whilst the scheme is straightforward, based on document submission on behalf of the club, completed by Tristan Bassett, it’s designed to both recognise and assist the club to continually improve while demonstrating a real commitment to providing all that is best in rugby, a complete collaboration from all involved.

Clubmark accreditation confirms, higher standards of welfare, equity, coaching from junior to senior and management in community sports clubs. A strong infrastructure with the right environment to encourage all its members to enjoy sport and stay involved.

A Massive Thank You to all Cockles Heroes.
