Communication Challenges
Introduction to our RFU Resources
These resources were developed by Neurodiverse Sport in collaboration with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to support coaches in building more inclusive environments for neurodivergent players. We are proud to host these materials on our own platform, with the RFU’s kind permission, to help widen access and reach communities who may benefit from these resources across a range of sporting and educational settings.
We kindly ask that you do not copy, reproduce, or redistribute the content without permission. For the full collection of coaching tools and CPD opportunities, please visit the RFU Coach Resources page.
Resource 9. Communication Challenges
This resource helps coaches adapt how they give instructions and connect with players who process or express language differently.
Highlight: It encourages asking players how they prefer to communicate—whether that’s verbally, visually, or with gestures.
