Eastern Counties Rugby Union

Following insight on training needs from various Secondary Schools, we have organised two ‘Rugby Union in Secondary Schools’ courses, which ties in with the majority of Schools’ PD Day in January.

Developing children as confident, capable young people first is at the core of the Rugby Football Union’s offer to all schools. Using Rugby Union as a vehicle for developing a young person’s personal and social skills alongside their rugby skills can have a dramatic impact on all aspects of their life and has real whole school impact.

This course will support secondary school staff to develop an understanding of how to teach rugby union in a fully inclusive, engaging and enjoyable manner. It will help them to develop confidence in teaching and officiating the contact elements of rugby union in a safe and effective manner, and how to build the game progressively to enable students to play competitive rugby.
