Siobhan Adams James – didi rugby Caerphilly, South Wales

Biography – Siobhan Adams James – didi rugby Head Coach

Siobhan Adams James brings an infectious passion for sport, community and youth development to didi rugby Caerphilly, which she proudly runs alongside her daughter, Izzie Adams.

Sport has always been at the heart of Siobhan’s life. Raised in a truly sport-mad household, she was around horses before she could walk and went on to play hockey for many years. That love of movement, teamwork and healthy competition has shaped both her personal life and her professional journey and it has been wholeheartedly passed on to her children.

With a strong teaching background, Siobhan previously owned and ran her own riding school until 2020, when her family made the move from Ireland to Wales. Since then, rugby has become an even bigger part of family life. A lifelong rugby follower, Siobhan’s son has played the game since the age of six, and for the past three years she has been closely involved at grassroots level, supporting Mini and Junior rugby and capturing the action through her photography on the sidelines.

Between them, Siobhan’s three children, including Izzie, play an incredible range of sports including rugby, football, basketball, athletics, netball and cricket. It really is a sport-mad household, built on encouragement, positivity and a genuine love of being active.

Together, Siobhan and Izzie are excited to bring didi rugby to Caerphilly, creating a fun, welcoming and inclusive environment where children can build confidence, develop core rugby skills and, most importantly, fall in love with sport from an early age.

A Few words from Siobhan
“I love the idea of kids getting outside & active. didi rugby enables this and helps them get ready for school and team sports.  I’m hoping to help many parents and their little ones learn to love sport and be confident and happy ready for when they all join teams of their own.”

Tom Roughley – didi rugby St Helens, Warrington and Widnes

Biography – Tom Roughley – didi rugby Head Coach

Tom Roughley has been passionate about rugby since the age of six, playing all the way through to university. His lifelong involvement in the sport has naturally developed into a love for coaching and inspiring the next generation.

Tom has experience coaching very young children aged 2–5, where he focused on building early years learning through fun games and activities, while also introducing the foundations of rugby skills. He currently coaches at Pilkington Recs with the under-9s team, having guided the same group since they first picked up a ball at under-6 level. Watching them grow from complete beginners into confident young players has been one of his proudest achievements.

For Tom, the real reward of coaching comes from helping children develop not just rugby ability, but also confidence, teamwork, and life skills that will serve them well beyond the pitch. Through didi rugby in St Helens, Warrington and Widnes, Tom is committed to giving every child the best possible introduction to a sport he has loved all his life.
