Important Information for Coaches for the 2019 Season

by Bridgette Vrins

Coach Compliance:

In 2019, the coach compliance cut-off date will be Saturday 1st June, 2019. From this date, all teams must have a coach who is compliant to take the field.

To be compliant the following needs to occur:                                                                              

  1. Coach is registered to the club as a coach via  Play NRL -  https://playnrl.com/coach/                                                           
  2. Coach must be assigned to their team on LeagueNet
  3. Coach must have a current coaching accreditation specific to the age group they are coaching

International Games Coaching Course:

For all new coaches needing accreditation for U13’s – Seniors.

Date – Sunday 17th March – AAMI Park – 10:00am – 3:00pm

Cost - $35 – club or coach to pay at time of registering, NRL Victoria to reimburse clubs at the end of the season as per previous years.

Registration – Coaches to complete the registration process via the NRL Learning Centre - https://learn.playnrl.com/ilp/pages/coursedescription.jsf?courseId=3121903&catalogId=111246&templateId=3088208

The course will be capped at 35 so please ensure your coach registers as soon as possible. If required, another IGC Course will be held at a later date.

Coaching Courses (U6’s-U12’s):

There will be a new course structure for U6’s-U12’s due to the implementation of the Player Development Framework. The NRL are currently finalising this new course and once I have the information I will send out to all clubs.

Coach Re-Accreditation:

If you have an IGC, Club Coach or Senior Club Coach who’s accreditation expired in 2018, they can jump online and complete a FREE online re-accreditation to receive a further 12 month extension on their accreditation. Please send these coaches to the following link - https://learn.playnrl.com/ilp/pages/catalogsearch.jsf?catalogId=1700&fq=subTreeIds:%221%2F0%2F1700%2F%22&fq=%7B!tag%3DclassificationIds_111234%7D%20classificationIds_111234:(2%2F111234%2F111235%2F3163027%2F)&sidebarExpanded=true&q=%7B!q.op%3DAND%7D%20*:*&rows=3

For any MGC coaches please hold off as they will have a new online re-accreditation to complete. I will send this through once I have the information.

Coach Development Program:

As part of NRL Victoria’s Coach Development Program, there will be a number of opportunities in 2019 for your coaches to be up-skilled.

Coach Updates – The NRL Game Development Officer’s will be running 1 free coach update aimed for your U6’s-U12’s coaches at EACH Melbourne based club in 2019. It will be up to your Coaching Coordinator to work with your club’s GDO to set a date for this Coach Update session.

Profile Presenter Updates – In addition to the above, NRL Victoria will also offer some Profile Presenter updates throughout the season aimed at coaches 13’s+. These sessions will be announced and advertised once finalised.
