Rugby Australia is here, ensuring all coaches have access to the right training. We have coaching programs to fulfil your coaching requirements from Juniors and Youth through to Seniors and Emerging Talent.

Smart Rugby

Smart Rugby is the mandatory coaching qualification for all coaches of the tackle game in Australia.

Kids Coach

Having the right tools and information to coach kids is crucial for their development. Here are some programs to help put them on the right path.

Youth Coach

Youth Coaching is about teaching the U19 law form of the game and guiding players on their participation journey. To coach Youth Rugby you must complete a Smart Rugby course and a Foundation Coach Certificate.

Senior Coach

Senior Rugby refers to U19s and above. To coach Senior Rugby you must complete a Smart Rugby course, should complete a Developing Coach Course, and are encouraged to begin your Level 2 accreditation.
