SSErugby.com is a season-long programme of rewards, resources, and opportunities designed specifically to help meet the needs of local rugby clubs across the country. As well as offering unique insight into the rugby world from ambassadors such as Tom Croft and Danny Grewcock.

Whether a player, coach, volunteer or even a casual supporter, all users have to do is register to the site and assign themselves to their local club to start benefiting from the following:

Annual Energy Reward – Opportunity to enter your local rugby club to win an incredible £10,000 worth of SSE energy credits or an energy makeover worth up to £8,000

Monthly Club Rewards – Exciting rewards and prizes to be won every month, from training sessions with ambassadors to essential kit and training equipment

Ambassadors – Tom Croft, Danny Grewcock and John Bentley will be sharing regular blogs and videos around their thoughts on community rugby, as well as offering coaching tips and running training sessions at amateur clubs

Community News – Exclusive news stories from the heart of the grassroots game, and regular video blogs and coaching tips from featured Community Rugby Coaches (CRCs) across England

Members that sign up now can take part in an exciting opportunity to win a motivational team talk from legend John “Bentos” Bentley for the day at their club. Whether the team talk is good, bad or just downright ugly, Bentos will whip the team into shape and inspire them for their next upcoming league fixture. All entrants have to do is register to SSErugby.com and send in a video of their own team captain delivering a motivational team talk.

England flanker Tom Croft commented: “SSErugby.com is a great initiative for players and clubs to get involved with, and earn real rewards and opportunities to improve the grassroots game. I’m really looking forward to getting involved and meeting some great clubs. So what are you waiting for, register now!”

As a National Community partner of the RFU we are working continuously to ensure the grassroots game is fully supported and SSErugby.com does just that.”
