Program Leaders, often know as Administrators, are the backbone of their rugby clubs. It does not matter if a club has a single administrator, several volunteers, or a formal club board and committees, the work to ensure a club is compliant with policies, to ensure it has the resources needed (pitch, equipment, etc), season planning, after-match socials, or year-end celebrations is just as important as the job of the team coach.A good administrator or administrative team ensures the club’s sustainability and allows the coach to focus on developing the game skills and abilities of the athletes.
