WWR are looking for specialised individuals that use their interpersonal skills and experience to be “Learning Champions”.

Helping coaches be more productive and achieve great results.

The WWR Heads of Departments have recently been working with the World Academy of Sport (WAoS) and World Rugby to review our previous coach education pathway and to evolve this to a new framework. The next phase of development is for WAoS and WWR to create an updated coach education package that suits the requirements of our stakeholders. The plan is for the new WWR coach education package to be made available through an online learning management system (Censeo) developed specific to the needs of the international sports sectors.

To help ensure the updated package is fit for purpose we are looking to recruit a diverse group of experienced people to contribute to and feedback on the development of the content that WWR are working on.

The Group will aim to meet on a regular basis to discuss progress of the coach education pathway and to provide feedback and advice on the resources and assets which are intended to be used following the redevelopment.

To learn more, please see the CoaWG Letter of Interest and the CoaWG Terms of Reference.
