The team behind the team
England’s team at the 2019 Touch World Cup is much more than the 160 players and 20 coaches, as there is an extensive support staff also heading to Malaysia at the end of April.
The support staff includes team managers, physios, sports scientists, psychologists, medics, logistics and media, with nearly 30 individuals working to make the on-pitch teams the best they can be.
England Touch is indebted to the effort and time contributed by everyone in the support team, who have been volunteering their time at High Performance camps as well as at the tournament itself.
