Any coach working 1-to-1 with under-18s in the UK should hold an enhanced DBS check and a current safeguarding certificate. On CoachSpot both are mandatory — a coach's profile can't go live without them, and the verified badge on the profile means we've seen and reviewed the certificates directly. For contact ages, ask specifically about the coach's approach to safe tackle technique and progressive load.

• Prioritise coaches with an RFU or WRU Level 2+ badge over a big playing CV • Check whether they'll work with a player and one parent watching, so you can back up the coaching at home • Ask what they'll do differently by position — a generic 'rugby' session isn't specific enough On CoachSpot you can filter by Newhaven and by rugby, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
