Coaches’ Courses

Who Should Attend?

• Club coaches
• School coaches
• Age grade representative coaches
• Professional coaches
• Rugby players wanting to make the transition from playing to coaching
• Coaches keen to break through to the next level of coaching

Course Overview

• There are different course options for coaches: the High Performance Coaches' Course, the Elite Coaches' Course, Advanced Coaches' Course, the Intermediate Coaches' Course,  along with Skills, Attack and Defence Clinics. 
  
• Each course utilises world-class coaches and position specific specialists who are passionate about the knowledge they pass on.
• The courses are designed to be practical and hands on with the majority of sessions taking place on the rugby field, rather than in the classroom.
• The High Performance, Elite, Advanced, Intermediate and Junior Development Courses are run alongside our players' courses (High Performance, Elite, Advanced, Intermediate and Junior Development)
• Sending a coach to Investec IRASA is an ideal opportunity for clubs, schools, academies and provinces to acknowledge the work their coaches have done in the past, and to encourage them to upskill for the future.
• First class, domestic and international staff coaches will share their experiences on what has worked best for them to get to the top.
