IRANZ International Coaching Clinics

IRANZ

The International Rugby Academy of New Zealand (IRANZ) provides inspiration and a high performance avenue for promising coaches and players from throughout New Zealand and around the rugby world.

At IRANZ the focus is firmly on high performance. The formula requires two courses (players and coaches) to be run in tandem so coaches can observe coaching methods and processes firsthand.

Week One will provide you with a framework to identify talent, increase your positional knowledge, analyse performance and design a strategy and game plan. This is the week our positional specialists work with players on the High Performance Players’ Course. Coaches on the high performance course will have the opportunity to observe and interact with these position specific specialists during this time. We concentrate on ‘remedial coaching’ or ‘problem solving’ after the first match is played at the end of this week.

Week Two provides the opportunity to assess strengths and weaknesses of the team building up to the final match. You will also focus on the areas of coaching you wish to develop further working with players on the high performance course and with local club or school teams.

Throughout each course we will introduce highly qualified tutors and coaches to address the areas of their specific expertise. I am confident these courses will provide you with solid knowledge, different perspectives and a challenging interactive two weeks. The cosmopolitan mix of coaches we will have on each course will create an infectious and highly stimulating environment and a sharing of ideas that will benefit all. IRANZ aims to provide a service to those in rugby who wish to achieve and will provide the steps to help coaches and players on their way.
