WP Rugby has officially announced its upcoming coaching course schedule for the second half of 2026, with a range of programmes aimed at supporting the continued growth and development of rugby coaching across clubs, high schools and primary schools within the region.
The schedule includes Level 1 and Level 2 coaching courses across Fifteens, Sevens and Strength & Conditioning (S&C), providing coaches with opportunities to improve their qualifications, practical knowledge and player development skills ahead of future seasons.
The programme forms part of WP Rugby’s ongoing commitment to strengthening coaching structures and ensuring that coaches at all levels have access to accredited education opportunities throughout the year.
Among the scheduled courses are multiple Level 1 Fifteens sessions taking place between June and November, while Sevens and S&C programmes have also been included to cater for the evolving demands of the modern game.
