DOLPHIN COACHING CLASS OF 2010

The planned Junior Coaching Development Sessions for February and March will be a great opportunity for any existing or new coaching staff at the Noosa Dolphins to increase their knowledge of rugby coaching. These sessions will open the door to those coaches that wish to enhance their knowledge of rugby and their ability to pass that knowledge on to others. Coaching knowledge is infinite, you never know everything.  All 2010 junior coaches are strongly encouraged to attend the 3 Coaching Development Sessions starting on 14 Feb, 28 Feb and 14 Mar. These sessions will also be open for anyone who has an interest in coaching junior rugby union. For more information regarding coaches development contact Phil Bowden at pjbowden@optusnet.com.au. (see 2010 Junior Coaching Development Session Information link on left hand side of webpage)

A good coach is judged on the difference they can make in not only the game skills of their athletes but also often the life skills they impart. Good coaches coach, a trainer trains.
