PURPOSE
To introduce the basics of running, passing and defence, in a fun, active and non-contact manner, using small sided games which are familiar to north Americans.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The majority of sessions are held for elementary school children, who have had little or no experience with rugby.
Many sessions are designed to demonstrate the program to adults (coaches/parents/teachers), either with or without a rugby background.
ENTRY CRITERIA
Coaches/Parents/Teachers Working with children in the Active Start, FUNdamentals, AND/OR Learning to Train stages (ages 5-14) of athlete development
No previous coaching or rugby experience required
COURSE LENGTH
Can be adjusted to fit time allotted, most sessions are designed to fit the common length of Ontario phys-ed classes (30-50 minutes).
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
The main goal is that the participants have fun and are active for the majority of the session. Rugby rules and terminology are intentionally not used, but the small sided games enforce the ideals of moving to space without the ball, passing to hand, working together on defence and evasive running.
CERTIFICATIONS RECEIVED
In sessions for coaches/referees, each participant will receive a "certificate of attendance".
* Please note that this course is not available in all Provinces
