HOW TO GET YOUR PLAYERS READY FOR ADULT PLAYER REGISTRATION

Get your club ready for Adult Player Registration by helping your players with Game Management System (GMS) accounts to verify their email address on GMS.
Helping your players verify their email address will mean your club is ready for next season and will support the health of the game. Please note, this is only for players that already have GMS accounts. If a player does not have a GMS account, they do not need to complete this process.
Club administrators can complete the email verification process ‘in bulk’ by following the steps in this video http://links.emails.rfumail.com/…/dzhHdHRmWldQZVgzS3BO…/
Clubs across the country have made a strong start with this, including Wymondham RFC, Abingdon RFC, and North Petherton RFC. Find out more about how these clubs are supporting their players.
