Introducing the IRANZ Sevens Coaches Course

Tuesday, 14 August 2012

The International Rugby Academy is proud to introduce the inaugural SEVENS Coaches Course, 5-7th October 2012 at the Sport and Rugby Institute, Palmerston North.  

Rugby Sevens is the newest Olympic sport and will be introduced at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The Olympics will deliver a new profile for rugby – new audiences, new commercial opportunities and perhaps new giants of the game.  The growth of the game is thus expected to be phenomenal as both established and developing nations embrace the opportunity to win an Olympic medal. 

The Inaugural IRANZ Sevens Coaching Course will provide Rugby coaches with the opportunity to be exposed to, and learn from, legends of the Sevens game who have played or coached at the highest level.

There will be a strong emphasis on skills that relate specifically to the game of Sevens, tactical awareness, strength and conditioning and techniques and methods required to coach at the next level.

Coaches will be provided with “leading edge” knowledge where the IRANZ specialist staff coaches will work through team strategy, tactics and game plans with the coaches on the programme.
