East Midlands Rugby Union
Helping to promote, foster and develop the game of Rugby Union
Welcome
We are East Midlands RFU, a Constituent Body (CB) of the Rugby Football Union.
We are run by a strong team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, who are responsible for the operational running of the clubs in the CB. These responsibilities cover a wide range of knowledge, from Governance & Safeguarding to Adult and Age Grade Rugby inc developing Players, Coaches and Referees.
East Midlands, Adult and Age Grade, also run a comprehensive range of competitions as well as fielding representative East Midlands teams. All these aspects ensure that rugby is grown and developed to be the best it can be and will remain sustainable for generations to come in the heart of England.
As the organisation responsible for ensuring our clubs and members are supported we’re here to help you every step of the way.
There are many ways you can get in touch with us, whether it’s to ask a question, share your news or to seek some support or advice.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to support the development and sustainability of Clubs and to grow the game of Rugby for all players in the East Midlands area.
Message from Chris Parr, Chairman of East Midlands Rugby Union
I am proud to be the Chair of the East Midlands Rugby Union, and as a former player, coach, representative coach, and volunteer, I understand most aspects of East Midlands Rugby and all of its values.
We are proud of the strong grassroots foundations across our clubs, with excellent growth in age-grade rugby for both boys and girls. This strength continues into the adult game, where we are seeing positive retention and growth in both men’s and women’s rugby.
The recent opportunity to host Women’s Rugby World Cup matches in Northampton has further raised awareness and enthusiasm within our rugby community. Alongside the incredible commitment of volunteers across our clubs, this has helped to drive remarkable growth in the girls’ and women’s game.
Together, these developments highlight the strength, passion, and future potential of rugby within our community.
I will be visiting clubs around the Constituent Body during my term as Chair and look forward to meeting you at your club soon.
My team are here to help, and guide you with the idiosyncrasies of Club, Adult, Age Grade and Representative Rugby.
Chris Parr,
Chair
