Rowan Whichever country you are in, the Rugby Union of that country should have information about how coaching courses are run and where and when they take place. There are three levels of IRB coaching qualifications and more details about them can be found on the IRB.com website under "Education and Training" and then "Coaching." I hope this helps you.
You should start by attending a Rugby Ready course in your area. This will give you a sound basis to move onto the next level. Once on this path, the courses will be signposted clearly.

The hooker's brake foot moved from trial into full law in July 2026. Here is how to coach it so your front row stays stable, legal and safe.
Your players can pass beautifully in a warm-up grid. Then a defender closes, their lungs are burning, and the ball goes to ground. Here is how to build catch-pass skills that hold up when it matters.
