RUGBY DEVELOPMENT NEWS<br />
RUGBY DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES<br />
ACROSS THE PROVINCE<br />
While rugby matches and contact training<br />
sessions take a break under the current<br />
Level 5 restrictions, <strong>Munster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong><br />
Development staff continue to work with<br />
clubs and schools across the province<br />
hosting non-contact skill development<br />
games and activities. With COVID-19 Health<br />
& Safety Plans in place, clubs and schools<br />
can work within government guidelines to<br />
continue as a hub for physical and mental<br />
wellbeing for school aged children. Noncontact<br />
sessions can be run within a pod<br />
of 15 including coaches and COVID-19 Club<br />
Compliance Officers. Last week, a number of<br />
staff worked closely with volunteers in the<br />
Kerry based clubs of Castleisland RFC, Corca<br />
Dhuibhne RFC, and Tralee RFC.<br />

PILOT ONLINE COACHING COURSES<br />
PROVING SUCCESSFUL<br />
The <strong>Munster</strong> <strong>Rugby</strong> Development<br />
Department hosted four online coaching<br />
events during the month of October as<br />
part of this season’s coaching course<br />
programme. These events are designed to<br />
accommodate coaches who wish to achieve<br />
their IRFU coaching awards for coaching<br />
children and coaching youth levels, through<br />
a blended learning approach. They are part<br />
of a three-stage process designed around<br />
the current restrictions with online Zoom<br />
calls and interactive breakout rooms to<br />
support coach understanding of the course<br />
curriculum. It is hoped these coaches can<br />
complete their awards through face-toface<br />
deliveries in due course. This season<br />
the IRFU have integrated a new online<br />
registration and coaching course enrolment<br />
system where all attending coaches are<br />
automatically registered on the GAINLINE<br />
learning management system. Here they<br />
can engage their personal profile, download<br />
course certificates, access online coaching<br />
resources and complete other online<br />
courses or requirements. Any queries<br />
regarding coaching courses can be directed<br />
through education@munsterrugby.ie.<br />
