Both Emory University and Georgia Tech Rugby will be hosting a Brumbies Rugby 2-Day Advanced Coaching Course which will be held at the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta Georgia on the weekend of the 11th & 12th of January 2014.
The course will be conducted by Brumbies Academy and Commercial IP Manager - Nick Leah.
This course is the first of a range that Brumbies Rugby will be rolling out over the next 12 months. Specifically, this course broadly introduces all the interdependent variables and networks that drive performance, while utilizing case study examples from different environments, which often presented alternate methods of intervention, but with the same desired outcome. While the Brumbies transformation from 13th place basket-case in Super Rugby in 2011 to 2nd in 2013 with the most inexperienced squad in Super Rugby as the primary case study.
The course provides a whole range of easily implementable tips that are relevant to all levels of rugby
The course costs USD205.00 to register for the 2-Days and USA Rugby have confirmed that any attending coach will attract 10 Coach Professional Development Credits towards their re-accreditation. Please register here

USA Rugby Concussion Clarification
In a letter to all referees and coaches, USA Rugby’s Dr. Harry Laws issued information to clarify that there is no “Brain Bin” for any USA rugby competitions except Elite international level contests. Referees and coaches are directed to follow IRB Regulation 10, which in summary requires:
All players with suspected concussion where there is no appropriately qualified person is present to diagnose concussion must be removed from the field of play and
not return to play or train on the same day and should be reviewed by an appropriately qualified person and then should complete the graduated return to play
protocol described in the IRB Concussion Guidelines; and
Where concussion is diagnosed, a player must be removed from the field of play and not return to play or train on the same day and must be guided through a dedicated return to play protocol.
For more information on this matter, please reference: http://usarugby.org/concussions/irb
Referees and coaches are also encouraged to view IRB’s Concussion Management modules at:
