COACHING
There are two main strands to developing your skills as a coach. One is Coach Education, the second is Coach Development.
The two go hand in hand and to become a successful coach you will need to participate in both.
Coach Education courses are the nationally recognised coaching awards. These all involve some form of assessment which will result in an RFU Coaching Qualification.
Coach Development Seminars are designed to further your knowledge within a particular area, e.g. Line-out play or introducing contact. These courses are not assessed and do not result in a coaching qualification. Contact Simon Trimmer for more information: coaching@stourtonpark.com - The Club can reimburse you for some costs/expenses.
