If you are interested in becoming an accredited coach then an IRFU Coaching Development course is the way to go. Dealing with all levels of coaching it offers accreditation for each step on the pathway.

Garryowen FC recently hosted the annual Limerick Level 1 coaching course with twenty eight coaches attending the three day course. The Munster Rugby domestic game staff were joined by guest tutors over the weekend, including the IRFU National Coach Development officer Colin Moran, UL Bohemians head coach Ian Costello, Mike Storey and Padraig Culbert.

RDO Johnny Lacey takes a group session at the recent Level 1 course in Limerick.

There will be another Level 1 coaching course taking place at the end of August in Cork and adult team coaches are invited to apply.  There are only two Level 1 coaching courses run each year with limited places, so please make sure to send in your application form and payment as soon as possible.
