About Simon, Rochelle and Tyler Gully
Simon Gully
I was fortunate to grow up in a family who loved a variety of sports but I decided that rugby was my favourite. It combined all my favourite elements of sport, skill, physicality, speed, endurance, control and teamwork.
I have been fortunate enough to have played rugby for over 40 years and in that time have played professionally, internationally and had the honour of wearing an England shirt.
I have bestowed my rugby passion to my children and have been able to support them in their rugby journey, as their coach and biggest supporter.
Why didi rugby?
I have played and loved rugby all my life. It is my passion, my challenge, my happy place! I have been coached by some of the best over the years and the respect I have for them is immense.
I can’t wait to use all I have learnt to inspire the younger generation to love the game as much as I do.
Rochelle Gully
I was introduced to rugby by my husband and have enjoyed watching him play for two decades.
It was inevitable that the kids would love it too, so I have spent most Sundays in wellies and a raincoat being a supportive rugby mum.
I can honestly say that being part of the rugby community has given our family a physical and emotional outlet, a shared love and a fantastic social circle.
We have made life-long friends thanks to rugby.
Why didi rugby?
When my son started rugby he was overwhelmed and a little scared. If there had been a didi rugby back then, we could have introduced it to him earlier and made the transition to outdoor sports a little easier.
I am really looking forward to supporting a new generation of rugby parents to inspire their little ones to be brave and have fun.
Tyler Gully
I was introduced to rugby by my dad and I started playing for my local club when I was 11 years old.
Initially, I was a little put off by the physicality of the game but once I learnt the skills, there was no stopping me.
My favourite position is flanker because I love being in the thick of the game and getting my hands on the ball at every opportunity.
I play for a grass roots rugby club which has an emphasis on developing skills and sportsmanship, thanks to this I have achieved the following:
Players’ player 2017
Coaches’ player 2018
Most improved player 2019
Gloucestershire County U13s
Gloucestershire County U15s
Why didi rugby?
I am thrilled at the thought of coaching kids how to play a sport that inspires me and others across the globe. Becoming a didi rugby coach will enable me to encourage young children to get active, develop new skills and most of all to have fun and make new friends.
