TAG Rugby Courses

COACHING CHILDREN RUGBY UNION – UKCC Level 1

This course recognises the ever changing needs of players as they grow and how to develop the specific skills of the coaches required to meet those needs. The Coaching Children Rugby union (Level 1) course provides coaches with the knowledge, skills and attributes essential in developing children’s social, personal, physical and mental skills in conjunction with the technical and tactical aspects of the game of Rugby Union.

In order to develop confident, competent, decision making players it is necessary to develop confident, competent, decision making people. This goes beyond rugby and requires knowledge other than technical and tactical. This course will cover a number of important areas associated with child development, including: developing fundamental movement skills and – Confidence, Competence, Creativity, Connection (teamwork), Character and caring – the 5cs – through rugby union.
• From February 1st 2012, the UKCC Level 1 in Coaching Rugby Union became the UKCC Level 1 in Coaching Children Rugby Union.
• The course will be for coaches who work with players up to u12s.
• Rugby Reads remains a prerequisite, with attendance at the Tag course recommended.

Typical delivery will consist of 1 full day (Saturday or Sunday) followed by a period of home study and attendance at an evening module approximately 10 days later with the final day (Saturday or Sunday) taking place 10 days after the evening module. This format gives coaches the opportunity to reflect on and/or apply their learning at their club and complete home study elements of the course.

CERTIFICATE IN COACHING RUGBY UNION – UKCC Level 2

Coaches working in the Youth and Adult game (u13 upwards) will be expected to attend a new qualification. The RFU Coaching Award, which will be Level 2 equivalent. This course, as with the children’s course, will reflect the environment the coach practices in i.e. the 15 a side game. Whilst there will still be an emphasis on the knowledge, skills and attributes of the coach and how they utilise both coaching process and session delivery methods, greater attention will be given to the application of the principles of play, the tactical aspects of defence and attack as well as the use of key factors in building and playing from set piece.

Delivery is on three separate single days, spread over a period of between 8-12 weeks, with guided home study and research between days using web based resources. Coaches may be required to apply their research and with this in mind:

From 1st May 2012 the UKCC Level 2 in coaching Rugby Union became the UKCC Level 2 RFU Certificate in Coaching Rugby Union.

The course is an entry level course for a coach working in the 15 a side game. Prerequisites are:
Coaching in the 15 a side game
Attended Scrum Factory
Attended Rugby Ready

At the point of application coaches will be required to confirm that they are coaching the 15 a side game and supply their previous coaching and playing experiences.

CPD Courses

CPD plays an important part in the development of a coach, and coaches should undertake these courses before, after and alongside attendance at qualification courses. The courses are designed to support coaches with training appropriate to the type of player they are working with. Within rugby union there are five broad categories of player: adult performance, adult participation, talent development, youth and children.

Once we have identified more CPD course requirements within the Club we will endeavour to run some in-house courses. Other CPD courses available are: the Lineout Game, Maul & Ruck, Back Play from Set Piece, Half Back Play, Planning & Periodisation, Game Planning, Goal Setting, Defence in Phase Play.
