Rugby Leaders Foundation
Using tag rugby, the Rugby Leaders Foundation Course introduces the game and develops leadership skills for practical application within local communities. To complete the course rugby leaders should have organised, delivered and reviewed a rugby activity in a community setting.
This course is designed to be taken predominantly by 16 to 18-year-olds within an educational context. However, the course can be delivered to a wider audience. The emphasis of the course is on the leaders taking the initiative, with the assistance of a fully accredited facilitator. The Rugby Leaders Foundation Course includes the Start Coaching Tag Rugby Course. To discuss the possibility of arranging a course contact your local Rugby Development Officer.
