Important Information for Coaches for the 2019 Season
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:
- Coach is registered to the club as a coach via Play NRL - https://playnrl.com/coach/
- Coach must be assigned to their team on LeagueNet
- 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/
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/
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.
