Wetherby have enjoyed a resurgence in the senior section over the last 5 years, with the 1st XV currently playing in the highly competitive Yorkshire 2 (Tier 8) and were finalists in the Yorkshire Silver Trophy in 2019. The 2nd XV play in a competitive merit league and we also field an occasional Vets XV throughout the season. The club has around 70 to 80 playing members and train twice a week with games every Saturday. Our aims for the 2019/20 season are:

1st XV
• Top 4 league finish.
• Progress to final of Yorkshire Silver Trophy.

2nd XV
• Improved league performance.

• Develop ability of players for future in the 1st XV.

The coach would be expected to design and deliver sessions twice a week and attend match days on a Saturday afternoon. We require a coach who is willing to implement a structured forward pack, with experience in coaching and developing both line-outs and scrummages. We hope to build a strong relationship with our coach, in order to maximise the potential of our fantastic Club.
