Lagos Opens Database For Rugby Coaches

Taiwo Adelu

Lagos State Rugby Association has begun to put in place a lasting structure to guarantee grassroots development of the sport.

To this end, it has commenced registration of all rugby coaches in the state in a bid to have a comprehensive database.

According to the Chairman of Lagos State Rugby Football Association, Kofo Coker, the exercise will enable the association know the number of rugby coaches in the state, organise training, workshops and seminars for registered coaches, work with registered coaches in its developmental programmes, assist in ensuring that only rugby coaches registered with the association are employed and allowed to coach primary and secondary schools in the state.

Coker enjoined all rugby coaches in the state to take advantage of this unique opportunity and get registered with the association.

Coker stated that the registration forms are available at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Rowe Park Sports Centre, Yaba and on the Lagos State Sports Commission Website (www.lagossports.ng)
