 Coach Education
     
 WRU Community TAG Leaders Award  

The course is suitable for teachers, coaches and sports leaders to introduce the non-contact game of tag rugby. The course is 3 hours in duration, comprising of 3 one hour modules. There is no formal assessment; informal course appraisal will be given by the tutor. An attendance certificate and award booklet will be provided at the end of the course.

Tag rugby provides a safe and simple introduction to the game of rugby union. The WRU has developed this course to offer coaches working with young players in the non-contact game, the opportunity to grow their knowledge and skills and in doing so improve the experience afforded to young players entering the game. An early positive experience has been shown to lead to longer-term player participation.

Tag rugby introduces both the player and the coach to the fundamentals of evasive running, handling and passing, as well as basic rules and principles of the game of rugby union. Tag is a fast paced, fun game suitable for boys and girls. The invasion nature of the game provides opportunities to develop a basic understanding of principals underlying rugby and other team sports such as football, hockey or netball.
