Coach Courses
Small Blacks Course:
These courses are again compulsory for anyone coaching from U13 to U6 level.
Beginning Rugby U6 – U7
Learning Rugby U8 – U10
Playing Rugby U11 – U13
Police Vetting will again be under taken for anyone coaching at any level of Small Blacks Rugby. Please note, this year the Police require two forms of ID for the vetting procedure – a Driver’s Licence and another form of primary ID e.g. Passport, Firearms Licence.
Details from the Drivers Licence will be recorded and sent with the police vetting form. The second form of ID only requires the Coach Educators so sight it and verify the identification of the coach.
Coaches are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the course to complete the registration process.
We encourage coaches to attend the sessions as soon as they can so they can take the new information back to their teams. The courses have also been arranged so they are open to everyone regardless of where they are coaching.
A new initiative this year is the three courses being held at 11am on Saturday’s at the Hagley Netball Centre. We are working with the Metropolitan Junior Advisory Committee to schedule grading games so coaches can attend the relevant course following their grading game

Rugby Smart - Teenage Course:
Once again all coaches (co-coaches, assistant coaches, resource coaches player-coaches) from under 14 and above are required to attend the compulsory NZ Rugby 'RugbySmart' course. All courses apart from Division 1 RugbySmart are open to any coach. This includes the courses scheduled for the referees in Ellesmere, Metro and North Canterbury - NZ Rugby are keen to have interaction between coaches and referees at this course and thus we encourage coaches to consider attending one of these scheduled courses.
Coaches of U14 to U18 teams will be required to attend a compulsory Teenage course in addition to the RugbySmart course. As was the case last year the Teenage course will be held immediately after each RugbySmart course so those coaching in this age bracket simply stay on
