Becoming a Coach

All Competitions

STEP ONE

Rugby is a physical, contact sport and as such has inherent dangers. Rugby Ontario is committed to reducing the risks of serious injury through the implementation of World Rugby, Rugby Canada, and Rugby Ontario safety policies.

By making yourself aware of rugby's safety policies, you can play your part in making sure that our sport remains safe, fun and enjoyable for all.

Minimum Standards for all Coaches

To ensure best practice is being followed, we require that all active coaches, teachers and referees in clubs and schools 

1. Complete the online World Rugby RugbyReady self-check assessment on rugbyready.worldrugby.org/

2. Complete the online Concussion Management modules through World Rugby's Player Welfare resource page at http://playerwelfare.worldrugby.org/?documentid=module&module=21

3. Take the World Rugby Laws self-check; take the test online at laws.worldrugby.org/

STEP TWO

Get Qualified

For a complete list of all upcoming coaching courses, please refer to Rugby Canada's schedule of upcoming coaching courses.

**A note for all coaches that hold a NCCP Coaching Certificate, and wish to be certified with World Rugby: the NCCP Community Initiation and NCCP Competition Introduction courses are now paired with World Rugby certification courses, as of 2014 (NCCP Community Initiation / World Rugby Level 1; NCCP Competition Introduction / World Rugby Level 2, respectively). Coaches that attended a NCCP course prior to the introduction of the combined courses must attend a full course if they wish to receive the World Rugby certification, however, their NCCP certification will not expire.

Statement On Covid-19: Suspension Of Rugby Activities

(WHITBY, ON) – Rugby Ontario has been closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response to growing concerns and public health directives, a decision has been made to suspend all rugby activities effective from midnight March 13, 2020 until at least April 10, 2020. During this time, no sanctioned rugby activity is permitted, including training sessions.

“Rugby Ontario’s number one priority is the safety and well-being of players, coaches, officials, volunteers, employees and parents participating in our sport across Ontario,” said Rugby Ontario CEO Myles Spencer. “The rugby community is a strong and resilient one, and we hope to see everyone enjoying the sport they love again very soon. We encourage all members to take care and stay in good health during this unprecedented time.”
