Children's Coach Award
The IRFU "Children's Coach Course" is for coaches of Mini Rugby players aged 5-12. Players are introduced to the game of rugby for the first time through participation in games with reduced numbers of 8, 10, or 12-a-side. The goal is to develop players’ all-round skills and game-understanding with an emphasis on Fundamental Movement Skills delivered through basic Technical, Tactical & Physical course modules. There is an emphasis on enjoyment and player development using best practice, the coach acting as a 'Guide' in a player-centred process.Upcoming Courses
