The England Touch Association is launching new Foundation Level coaching courses to give both primary and secondary school teachers the knowledge, resources and ongoing support they need to develop a Touch Rugby offering at their school.
These new courses, the first of which will be held in mid-May, have been developed as part of the England Touch Association’s ‘Growing the Game Strategy in Schools’, and in response to an increasing interest in minimal-contact rugby options in schools, either to complement existing rugby programmes in the Winter Term or as a new Summer Term invasion game.
The development of these courses has been undertaken in conjunction with a strategic working group and teachers’ focus groups, which were formed to discuss the development of a comprehensive schools programme.
Each course lasts two-and-a-half hours and is supported with resources for a six-week block of lessons
Topics covered in these courses include:
- A new game format for younger children, called 'Super 6s'
- The 'Super 6' skills for Touch Rugby
- How to teach Touch Rugby in schools
- Introduction to the resources which you can then use in your own schools, which you will be sent afterwards
Following the course, teachers will receive a community coaching course certificate and, following completion of the six-week block of lessons and a feedback survey, will also receive access to additional resources.
The cost of this course is £30 per teacher (with a 20% reduction in overall course fees for bookings of five teachers or more from the same school).
England Touch members get a £5 discount.
Course dates are below but we may also be able to run bespoke courses if there is sufficient demand.
