Coach Rugby
In conjunction with Rugby Australia, Queensland Rugby is committed to fostering the development of Rugby coaches at all levels, from grassroots to elite. By providing comprehensive training programs, resources, and support, Queensland Rugby aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of coaches, ultimately contributing to the growth and success of Rugby in our state.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to see details on changes to the coach accreditation system and the new Rugby Australia Learning Centre.
There are changes to the coaching course and accreditation structure. The new structure relates to the vision of “Right Coach – Right Environment”.
While they will register as a COACH, the people who support the learning and participation in our Under 4 to 7 Get into Rugby age groups, will complete a Game Activator (U4-U7) course.
A Junior Coach will complete either of the following courses dependent on the age group they are coaching, a Coaching Kids Rugby U8-U9 Skills, or a Junior Coach Course (U10-U15).
A Community Coach of teenage and adult players will have a choice of completing either a 1-day Essential Coaching Skills course, or a longer Community Coach (U16-Senior) course.
Pathway and Performance Coaches will be selected upon application. Coaches would need to have a minimum current Community Coach (U16-Senior).
All coaches must be registered and have completed a current Smart Rugby and an annual Season Ready.
When you log into your profile on a web browser via Rugby Xplorer Auth you will see the option to enter the Learning Centre. This will provide you with the following choices which will display content based on your current ROLE REGISTRATIONS:
- Skills Passport: a list of your current qualifications
- Resource Library: pdf downloads and web links for resources
- Training Library: this is where all the accreditation courses are
- Training Event: an interactive calendar of all courses available
- My Training: your current incomplete enrolments
It is important that you are currently registered in the specific role with a club and or school to be able to access the relevant course.
