[Rugga-lad]

Hi folks,
I'm from South Africa, 36 male. Would love to converse with fellow rugby lovers. I aim to become a coach. Only played 1 rugby game ever in my life, in primary school.

So, hope to contribute to the game by being a coach.
Loving the Rugby Championship!

regards, and see ya around the forums

Support any particular side in Super Rugby and Currie Cup?

Hi Draggs,
Thanks. Love your avatar. Hugh Bladen is my favourite commentator.

I don't really support anyone. Just want to see a good rugby game.

Welcome Rugga-Lad.

It's great that you'd like to become a coach and even though I don't know the landscape of SA rugby, I am sure the rugby community would appreciate your voluntary time and involvement. Over here, the unions run coaching awards for rugby, which let you start at grass routes. Is it a similar system in SA to get into coaching?

One of the first things you need to get, is the Boksmart certification (for want of a better word) Every coach whether at school or national level, needs to get Boksmart certified. It particularly concentrates on the injury aspect of rugby.

Then it's the usual levels 1-3. So, no, i don't know of any coaching awards. But it sounds good!
