Rahul Shankar

I’m excited to begin my role as Rugby Programme Coordinator at Loughborough Sport, where I’ll be supporting the organisation and development of both the men’s and women’s rugby union programmes. During this role, I’ll be assisting with competition logistics, player registration, travel and accommodation planning, kit management, and ensuring smooth delivery of matchday operations. I’ll also be working alongside coaches, administrators, and national governing bodies to help deliver high-performance rugby at one of the UK’s leading university programmes, while contributing to communications, recruitment, alumni engagement, and media promotion. Thrilled to be part of such a prestigious sporting environment and to play a role in supporting athletes, coaches, and the wider rugby community at Loughborough. 🏉💜

New Role Alert! 🚀 Super excited to join the Soul Padel family as a Club Operative at Loughborough University! First played Padel back in 2015 in the Netherlands and absolutely loved it—never thought that one day I’d be managing a Padel club! With Padel being one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, I’m thrilled to be part of its journey and can’t wait to build a vibrant community around the sport here at Loughborough. Excited to add facility management skills under my belt and contribute to the rapid growth of Soul Padel. Looking forward to what’s ahead and making this an incredible experience! 🎾🔥 #SoulPadel #LoughboroughSport #Padel #FacilityManagement #GrowingTheGame #CommunityBuilding
