WANTED: Raleigh Venom Rugby Football Club Head Coach

The Raleigh Venom Rugby Football Club was founded in April of 1981. Since that time we have provided athletic and educational opportunities relating to rugby football for Triangle area residents on a local, national, and international level. We are registered as a non-profit corporation with the State of North Carolina and recognized as a tax-deductible charitable organization by the IRS.

In 1996 the club purchased 15.5 acres of red clay and pine trees, with the goal of developing a first-class rugby facility to include two full-size pitches and a clubhouse. August 2001 saw us begin play on a magnificent primary pitch complete with Bermuda sod and 60-foot tall posts. The second pitch followed shortly thereafter and plans are in the works for the clubhouse. With two all-weather pitches, the Raleigh RFC intends to host international and regional tournaments and select-side competitions on a regular basis.

Another milestone was passed in August 2002 with the addition of the Venom women’s rugby team to complement the Vipers men’s team. The Venom have brought a new level of enthusiasm and support for the club.

Spring 2007 saw the U-19 “Rattlesnakes” play their first season.

As one of the premier clubs in the Southeast, the Raleigh RFC competes in the Virginia Rugby Union and the Mid-Atlantic territorial union. With a playing membership of over 80 men and women, we are able to field competitive sides in Men’s, Women’s and Old Boy’s divisions and consistently post winning records.

Coaching Requirement:

• At least 2 years working with competitive rugby players
• An overall knowledge of the rules and regulations
