Exeter Chiefs Community

Dave Armstrong - Community Development Coach:

Outside of Dave’s day to day duties as a Community Development Coach for the Exeter Chiefs. He enjoys coaching at a local grass roots club. There he has been appointed the Head of Women and Girls rugby.
He is also involved within County rugby, where Dave is the Lead Coach of the Devon girls Player Development group (PDG).
Most recently, Dave was invited along as a guest coach with the England under 18 girls Player Development Group (PDG). There he has seen first-hand the level of young players, particularly the female players, that a being produced throughout our region.

Dave said “I am hugely enjoying help develop young players throughout our region. But not just players, coaches too. I thrive on helping and mentoring both current and potential coaches, to then pass on that knowledge and skills to others.”

💫We are very proud of Chiefs Engage 16+ learner Katy who has just found out this week she has qualified for the DMT National finals!💫

Not just qualifying but ranked No.1 and the one to beat!

Training for approximately 6 hours a week and further training in another discipline, Katy competes regularly in leagues and is a previous GB gold medal winner. 🥇A big shout out to for the amazing support they've given her since a child, what would we do without the clubs that support all our young people in sport and our communities.

Katy is smashing it at Engage 16+ too and a pleasure to have in the current cohort, building in confidence every week and on the way to completing her BTEC Level 1 Sport qualification.

She now enters a new era of coming up against adults in the Over 16's disability category and we wish her all the luck in the world! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤞🤞🤞
