1-to-1 Rugby Coaches in Portslade

Private 1-to-1 rugby coaching in Portslade typically costs between £40 and £70 per hour. Coaches with academy or international coaching experience sit at the top of that range. Block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions almost always come with a discount — ask about it when you enquire.

Sessions typically run on grass pitches and school/club rugby grounds — around Portslade that includes Victoria Recreation Ground, Vale Park and Portslade Sports Centre, plus school and club sites when the coach has an arrangement in place. Southwick and Portslade junior football clubs feed a lot of 1-to-1 demand and close enough to Hove and Shoreham that most coaches cover all three. If your player has a preferred venue, mention it in your enquiry — CoachSpot coaches list the venues they can travel to, and many will meet you at your local club or park.

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 Portslade and by rugby, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
