| Hi all, Im a has been rugby player who has played since i was knee high. I've come over from NZ and decided to hang up the boots and start coaching, however, its coaching U15 girls!!! I've got a bit of an idea of their skill and abilities, having watched them play the tail end of last season, and to be honest, there seems to be some talent there, but im not sure they were maximising their previous coaching sessions (obviously with the previous coach). Although ive played long years (which included some premier grade in Aust. and some minor Provincial rugby back home in NZ) i can recall what I learnt in my playing years and have a really good idea to get these girls up and running and making their sessions fun and beneficial to them, I just dont know how to coach it. Its all good in that i know what needs to be done, but not so sure about how to show them. The rugby club is going to put me through the appropriate coaching courses to get me up to speed with teaching or coaching kids, I guess for me, for probably the first time in my rugby career, im not too sure about how togo about it, how long the sessions should be, how many?.....how intense?..... Any thoughts from anyone?

| I am the sure the courses will be very beneificial because they will give you some of the "how to coach" skills, like on delivery, planning and communication. In simple terms, let them play, ask them for some feedback, make some suggestions, let them play!
