About us
Matt Sheppard - Director
I have 23 spent years working with people of all ages through education and sport. I am a former RFU Development Officer, Coach Educator and RFU Trainer. After spending 2 years as the Assistant Director of Rugby at Hartpury College, I moved back into education and spent 12 years, initially as a teacher of Physical Education, reaching the position of Assistant Headteacher. Since 2013 I have been working with the Bristol Bears Academy as a Centre Manager and Development Coach within the Aspire and Excel Programmes.
I am passionate about the power of sport, particularly rugby, in developing the potential in people both on and off the field of play. This is what forms our purpose at Switch Rugby.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Ross, Rugby Fit participant
I haven't played rugby since school but it didn't matter. It's a a great group of people with a wide range of abilities and there is as much focus on fitness and having fun, as there is on improving your rugby skills.
Paul, Rugby Cub Parent
“I took my son to Switch Rugby Cubs as soon as he turned two. He was initially apprehensive but thanks to Matt spending some time with him he absolutely loves it now and is constantly asking to go back! Would highly recommend it to anyone!”
Cath, Rugby Fit participant
I've not played a team sport since school and have tried most exercise classes but nothing has been as much fun as Rugby Fit. Having started as a complete novice I've become a much more competent player and it's become my favourite hour of the week!
