WRU/IRB RUGBY READY

Qualification: Rugby Ready

Course Cost: £20

The IRB Rugby Ready programme has been launched to educate, aid and support players, coaches, match officials and Unions on the importance of proper preparation for training and playing so that players enjoy Rugby to the fullest while reducing the risk of injury.

We all have a collective responsibility to manage the welfare of the growing number of men, women and children playing Rugby around the world and to ensure that the game continues to be played with a sense of fair play which is central to its global appeal and core values.

This programme follows in the footsteps of the Rugby Smart and Smart Rugby programmes successfully delivered in New Zealand and Australia and is intended to provide a global education resource for the game�s stakeholders in the important areas of discipline, match preparation, correct technique, injury prevention and injury management.

The provision of a multi-lingual programme delivered online, in print and in the form of a DVD will ensure that Rugby Ready is available to a global audience ensuring that with a better understanding of these key areas players, coaches, match officials and administrators can enjoy their Rugby even more.
