Better Rugby Coaching announces partnership with USA Rugby
Better Rugby Coaching, the specialist rugby coaching publisher, has agreed a partnership with USA Rugby, the governing body of the sport in the United States that will bring coaching resources to newly qualifying US coaches.
The partnership will take effect beginning with the summer and autumn 2009 certification workshop seasons in the US. Each coach who participants in either an Introducing Rugby or Developing Rugby Skills CDP certification course will receive a free 1-year subscription to
Smart Sessions Core Skills.
Smart Sessions Core Skills are "grab and go" training plans that are specifically designed for coaching the basics of the game to players of any age or at any level.
Each Smart Sessions Core Skills provides the information needed to run a one-hour full training session. With a new fresh plan delivered each week, the aim of
Smart Sessions Core Skills is to dramatically reduce the coach's preparation time, leaving them to concentrate on their players.
"At Better Rugby Coaching we are committed to providing world class coaching advice to new and developing rugby coaches. We are therefore delighted to be working with USA Rugby to promote and support the sport throughout America", said Toby Curthoys,
Better Rugby Coaching Publisher.
"Providing Smart Sessions Core Skills, our flagship rugby coaching resource, direct to coaches in the USA is an exciting opportunity. Our objective from this is to help aspiring coaches achieve their full potential and that of their players."
"Planning coaching sessions can sometimes be tough for busy coaches", said Nigel Melville, CEO & President of Rugby Operations. "The Smart Sessions offer plenty of options and sessions with balance and new ideas. Something every coach is looking for at some point!"
