Age Grade Coaching Resources

Coaching is an integral part of rugby from Minis to Age Grades to Representatives Matches, from Clubs and Schools to Provinces and the National team. A good coach can help players to develop to the best of their ability. ​​​

​

Coaches should act as guides, providing the environment for players to explore in a safe and exciting way. Corrections and guidance should be subtle and simple, dealing with issues in a broad rather then detailed perspective. ​

​

The end product should be a fun and safe experience. The emphasis is placed on open play with all players passing, running and tackling. Younger players will continue to participate in activities that are enjoyable and rewarding. As players mature and develop greater capacities, their needs and the demands of the game will also change. ​
