In conjunction with Rugby Academy Ireland we offer a unique learning experience that will give your students insight as to the roles and responsibilities of the coach, professional coaching opportunities and technology is changing the face of sports coaching.

Through a highly practical day they will get to have practical experience coaching their peers as well as managing risks and ethics in coaching as well as exposure to performance management technologies.
