FOUNDATION OF RUGBY COACHING: LEVEL 1

This World Rugby coaching course will provide coaches with a basic understanding of how to coach rugby. It is predominantly aimed at coaches who are currently coaching Junior and Secondary School rugby, plus coaches who are new to coaching rugby.


At the completion of this course, coaches will receive a World Rugby Level 1 certificate. Following that some coaches may decide to participate in the Developing Rugby Coaches Level 2 course, which is more in depth. It promises to be a highly interactive, practical course full of fun and laughter.
