Christchurch Rugby Coaching course opportunity, in partnership with NZ Rugby.

Day One: Kicking into day one, ākonga will discuss characteristics of small black rugby players and explore how coaching sessions can help support their skill development. Through kaiako led coaching sessions, ākonga will learn how warm-ups, activities, and cool downs target and support player development.
Day Two: Grab out the first aid kit, as today ākonga will simulate responses to common rugby injuries and learn how to keep participants safe on the field. Ākonga will also understand how to cater coaching sessions to the individual needs of different participants and groups.
Day Three: Knocking on to day three, ākonga will plan and model their own coaching sessions as well as participate in the coaching sessions of other ākonga.
