Simon, Rochelle and Tyler Gully – didi rugby Bristol
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.

Hattie and Sophie Elliott-Edwards – didi rugby Newcastle and North East
About Hattie and Sophie
Hattie has previously played Rugby with Lichfield Ladies RFC – starting off in the Under-16s and working her way up to the senior teams too. She had opportunities to play at regional and Premiership level, alongside some of the greats in women’s rugby including didi rugby founder Vicky Macqueen and didi ambassadors: Heather Fisher and Sarah Hunter.
During her time at Lichfield, Hattie has coached Under-18s/Under-16s at the club and at regional level too.
Hattie has gained so much from rugby and truly believes in the holistic benefits participation in the sport can provide. She attributes much of her successes in life to the mind-set, social skills, team working, and self-belief learned in playing and coaching rugby.
Hattie now lives in Northumberland and works for the NHS at The Freeman Hospital in Newcastle – where personal drive, team-working, personal and team leadership are essential characteristics; as well as bringing a little joy into people’s journeys through the healthcare system.
“It was a gathering with long-time rugby friends that brought up discussions with Vicky Macqueen about becoming a coach and franchisee,” says Hattie. “Now we are coming back into the rugby set-up and are keen to contribute to opening-up more opportunities for little ones to have fun, learn and get them active.
“We are also keen to develop the pathway into club rugby and the rugby community as a whole.”
Sophie is a teaching assistant specialising in Early Years and SEN education. She brings with her the knowledge and facilitation of the social and educational aspects that didi rugby incorporate (including relevant Key stages for Early Years).
Sophie is from the North East (originally a ‘sand dancer’ – as those from South Shields are known by in the North East) and has spent sometime in the West Midlands before returning to Northumberland, bringing Hattie with her.
Whilst Sophie has been introduced to Rugby by Hattie, it is through her work that she has seen how much sport impacts children in a positive fashion.
Sophie believes in the inclusivity of sport and in all the positives it gives to young children such as: increasing physical development, cognitive skills, teamwork, building social skills and promoting friendship, and most importantly having fun.
“Our son is our inspiration for starting a didi franchise,” says Sophie. “It is an opportunity we want for our son, who is a big driving force for us in bringing didi rugby to the North East.
“We are looking forward to this new chapter and encouraging little ones to get active and encourage a love of physical activity from an early age. We love the North East, and we are really excited to bring the didi rugby set-up and developing sport-based opportunities here.
“For our first venue we have teamed up with Novocastrians RFC. They are a very proactive, family friendly club (who have produced some amazing players from their set-up; including Sarah Hunter – one of the didi rugby ambassadors) and we are very excited to join forces with such a great club.
“Novocastrians already have a great junior section that any aspiring didi stars could progress into, after the age of 6 years old.
One of the country’s biggest rugby hotbeds will soon have didi rugby classes on its doorstep.
The amazing city of Bristol is the latest venue for a launch of didi rugby and classes are expected to start later in the summer.
Led by a local family team, the Gully’s, Rochelle, Simon and Tyler say they can’t wait to start encouraging the next generation of rugby players to an area that has generated some of the country’s most famous players.

Vicky Macqueen
didi rugby CEO, Vicky Macqueen added: “We’re very excited for our new didi Bristol launch. More young children will now have the opportunity to get involved in our incredible sport.
“Having dozens of venues across the country means that more and more children will be able to get active, have fun, enjoy sport and grow in confidence.
“Simon and Rochelle have been big advocates of didi rugby sine we first launched classes in the Midlands and it is great to have them on board.”
Venues and launch times for Bristol sessions will follow soon.
