Emerging Coaches Course

From 2019 Rebel Og Coaching are rolling out a new course called the Emerging Coaches course.

This course is aimed at Transition Year Students in Post Primary Schools and at the 16-18 year old in clubs  and is for both boys and girls.

The course is to provide them with a skill set that can be used in practical terms within their clubs for club camps, cul camps, summer camps etc and for coaching younger players as assistant coaches within their club or school.
