Coaching in 2021
A
has been added.
For 20 years we have been repeating the mantra, "It's all about the kids having fun". So does that mean success is based on the number of water fights and ice creams had?
We don't have an early childhood degree but we do have got a lot of experience from coaches and referees that have gone through our club. We want you to start with as much of that experience as possible. We don't want you getting to the end of the year and thinking, "If only I had known that at the start..."
North Harbour Rugby has come out with their 2021 requirements to be a coach or referee.

30 minutes at the club for all players new or those that want a refresher
There is nothing more important than ensuring players learn to tackle correctly from the start. It is an important skill and confidence booster for any player. With this course, we aim to put players, coaches and parents on the right track from the start.
This is a session for both players and coaches new to tackle.
They won't become an efficient tackler that day but they will be on the right path.
All coaches and referees are welcome. All parents are welcome. Actually, everyone is encourged.

There is a Rippa grade coaching and referees course at Harbour that day, starting at 10.30 am, so we timed the first session to allow you to still attend the Harbour course if that is your plan.
Each of these courses aims to talk about the experience of being a coach. What to expect, what to care about, what not to care about. It's easy training well-disciplined obedient kids on planet Disney but here on earth what do you do? We go over the club philosophy of sports training and discuss skills progression through the grades.
It's not just for new coaches either. Are you a good coach? Do you know why you are a good coach? Could you explain and help others be good coaches? Knowing what you do well and why it works just may help you become an even better coach.
Each year this course is improved with information from around the world on training kids and adjusted to our junior and rip rugby teams.
At the end of it, you won't be the world greatest kids sports coach but you will be confident about how to go about being the coach you want to be.
