🚨 SOMERSET WYVERNS ARE RECRUITING: ADULT CONTACT HEAD COACH

We’re looking for a Head Coach to lead the next chapter of Somerset Wyverns Adult Contact Football. 🐉🏈

2027 is a rebuilding year — but more importantly, it’s an opportunity to build a strong, united programme for the future.

We’re not looking for someone whose only focus is wins, losses and results.
We’re looking for a leader who puts people first.

Someone who can:
🔥 Build a strong team culture
🤝 Create genuine team spirit and togetherness
💪 Develop players both on and off the field
🧲 Help recruit new players while, most importantly, retaining the players we already have
❤️ Make players proud to be part of the Somerset Wyverns
📈 Build a programme that improves year after year
🗣️ Communicate, motivate and bring people together
🏈 Create an environment where players want to turn up, compete and stay involved

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You don't necessarily need years of American Football coaching experience.
Leadership experience from other sports, teaching, playing, team management or other environments can be just as valuable.
Contact football experience is a bonus, but culture, leadership, commitment and vision are what matter most.
We want someone who sees the bigger picture.
Someone who wants to build more than just a team — they want to build a programme and a community.

If you're passionate about developing people, creating a positive team environment and building something that players genuinely want to be part of, we want to hear from you.

🐉 Build the culture. Build the team. Build the Wyverns.

🐉 THANK YOU, HEAD COACH SEAN 🏈

After leading the Somerset Wyverns Adult Team, we can officially announce that Head Coach Sean will be stepping down from his coaching role.

Sean has given his time, energy and commitment to helping move this team forward, and we want to say a huge THANK YOU for everything you've put into the Wyverns. ❤️💛

But don't think you've seen the last of him... 👀

Sean isn't going anywhere!

He'll still be pulling on the Wyverns jersey next season and taking the fight to our opponents on the field. 🏈🔥

So while we're saying goodbye to Head Coach Sean, we're definitely NOT saying goodbye to Sean the player!

Expect the same passion, aggression and competitive spirit — just from the other side of the sideline. 😈

Thank you, Sean. Once a Wyvern, always a Wyvern. 🐉

Final score from Cornwall sees the Monarchs come away with a 19–8 victory as the Wyverns close out the 2026 season on the road.

It wasn’t the result we wanted, but every player left everything out on the field in our final game of the year. This season has been one of growth, resilience and hard work as we continue to rebuild and lay the foundations for the future of Somerset Wyverns football.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the season — our players, coaches, volunteers, sponsors and the fans who have travelled the length of the country to cheer us on. Your support means everything to this club.

Now, it’s time for some well-earned rest and recovery before we begin preparing for next season. The work doesn’t stop here, and we’re excited to keep building, improving and coming back stronger in 2027.

The future is bright. 🐉💛
