Scottish Rugby is hosting a Community Game Conference for club, school, and society representatives on Sunday 11 June 2023 at BT Murrayfield.

Building on the success of last year’s Game Development Conference, attended by over 250 coaches and match officials from across the domestic game, this year’s conference will also include sessions for leaders of clubs, schools and societies as well as volunteers.

Hosted by Eilidh Barbour and featuring guest speakers Chris Paterson and Russell Earnshaw, the conference is free of charge to attend, with the option to donate towards the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

Registration is now live at scrums.scottishrugby.org, and can be found in the "browse courses" section.

Whether it be starting the sport from scratch, or transitioning from a different position, the ‘Scrum School Skills Camps’ will provide a step-by-step approach to building confidence in the scrum, while also offering a range of practical tips and tricks for coaches and players alike.
 
There will be a number of camps across Scotland in June and July, with both players and coaches invited to attend:
