Notre Dame College has elevated Johannes "Hanno" van Vuuren to the Men’s Rugby 15s Head Coach position, with previous Head Coach/Director of Rugby Jason Fox remaining as Director of Rugby and 7s Coach DOR.
Van Vuuren, who holds a MSc in Sports Science from Stellenbosch in South Africa joined NDC as a graduate assistant, and has been active in the rugby scene throughout NDC’s home area of Cleveland. The Cape Town native also coached with St. Ignatius HS and with Rhino Rugby’s Youth 7s program.
He brings experience in on-field rugby coaching, along with his extensive background in strength and conditioning as well as performance analysis," said Fox. "We were blessed and very lucky to have Hanno come in as a graduate assistant last year and do a great job with the players and recruitment!. We are even more excited to see his progression to Head 15s coach."
