Everything you need to know about this year’s Winter Club Development Series!
This year’s theme is “Raising Standards Together”. The series will feature a combination of new and familiar faces leading us through sessions on club and coach development-related topics. Returning this year, sessions will also feature a club leader or leaders sharing about a unique program or best practice of theirs and lessons learned that could help others.
Each week will have either a club or coach-focus, to provide new perspectives, and targeted education for different members of our community.
All sessions are virtual, free, and open to all who are interested in the development of rugby and rugby clubs in Ontario. Stay tuned for separate registration to come for each of the other sessions.
