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

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.
