Learning Resources
Whether you are an athlete, parent, coach, referee, or spectator there are many ways for you to continue learning about the game of rugby and about healthy, safe, positive sport participation in general.
In addition to paid certification courses for coaching and reffing, organizations including World Rugby, Canadian Sport for Life, and the Coaching Association of Canada offer many free resources and online modules.
Because there is so much information out there, we’ve done some of the work for you and collected and linked to many of these resources here, and added even more in the file repository at the bottom of the page.
