Ross High Rugby Youth Section is shouting for volunteer coaches!

We need at least four coaches to help with the Ross High Raiders (primary school aged rugby) and three coaches to help with our Ross High School teams, two for the Under 14s and one to help Samuel with the Under 16s.

Without coaches, these teams won't function, the players will stop playing or drift to other teams, and Ross High Rugby Club will cease to exist.

You don't have to have played before, just willing to learn, help, motivate and support young players.

The Ross High Raiders train every Friday from 1.30pm to 2.30pm based at Ross High Rugby Club, Tranent, EH33 2DB.

The Ross High Rugby Under 14s and Under 16s train every Tuesday and Thursday, 4pm to 5.15pm.&nbsp; We plan on running a Youth Club for them after one of the training days, but no need for the coaches to hang back.

All coaches receive the following benefits:

Ross High Rugby Club will support you through the Scottish Rugby Unions eLearning&nbsp;Rugby Right and arrange for you to attend their in person Coaching Essentials course.

As well as provide in person support from other experienced coaches at the rugby club.

Want to know more?&nbsp; Email Mark Urwin at president@rosshighrfc.co.uk

We really need your help, please contact Mark and discuss what might be possible.

Our young rugby players need help!

Dear Ross High RFC members, I would like to take a few
minutes to explain the new Memberships and process this season.&nbsp; I will be sending out the payment request at
the end of this week, as you will be able to pay through SPOND, either in full,
or over four instalments.

Please take some time to read the message below, and if you
have any questions about your membership, please let me know before Friday.

💷 Membership fees are the
lifeblood of most rugby clubs, helping them go from just a muddy field and some
tackle pads to a well-run, vibrant community hub. Here's how those fees make a
difference:

🏉 Why Membership Fees
Matters to Ross High Rugby Club.

🏉 A membership isn’t just
a fee—it’s a statement that you’re backing your club, your teammates, and the
future of the sport you love.

Membership fees are the financial foundation that keeps
the rugby club running—without them, the club simply couldn’t function.

We know costs are rising for everyone, we see them rise
for the rugby club too.

We have taken measures to try and reduce costs and
generate income.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Smart plugs and energy sensors.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Moved delivery days to allow a smaller amount of
stock to be kept on the premises.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Reduced core bar hours.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Additional bar staff training.

NEW Ross High RFC Membership Management System, Website and Player App for 2025/26

At Ross High Rugby Club, we are proud to represent our local community both on and off the pitch. As a community-based club, we rely heavily on the support of local businesses and sponsors to keep our club running and thriving.

Sponsorship is not just about financial support—though that is vital. It helps us cover essential costs like equipment, kit, facility maintenance,&nbsp; fees, and coaching development. More than that, sponsorship enables us to make rugby accessible to more people in our area, from grassroots youth programs to senior teams.

Sponsors are true partners in our journey. Their contributions directly support the health, fitness, and personal development of our players and help us foster values like teamwork, discipline, and respect in the next generation.

In return, we are proud to promote our sponsors and be ambassadors for their brands within the community. Whether it's through matchday signage, social media recognition, logos on our jerseys, or direct engagement with our members, we strive to give back value and visibility.

To our current sponsors: thank you for believing in what we do. To potential future sponsors: we welcome you to join a club with heart, passion, and deep community roots.
