Development News

FRU Development Unit with Regional GIR and Training Co-coordinator Oceania Talemo Waqa organized a refresher course to continue professional development for educators, trainers and Level 2 coaches last Thursday and Friday at the LDS College in Suva.

To date, 260 coaches have completed the Level 2 two-day course but only 27 have been accredited. It is FRU’s aim is to increase this number by the end of the year by focusing on education. Only 35 have undergone training for Level 3 but have yet to finish it.

Level 2 is the global focus now and FRU is gearing towards that direction in educating our local coaches to better our performance. In level two the main thing is the coaching process unlike in Level 1 where it is all about interest and no functional roles.

Waqa confirmed the reasons the two day sessions were conducted were for the educators to see how to run a Level 2 refresher and then replicate it to their regions.

“It is to continue professional development for the educators and trainers, refresher level 2, processes to be understood on the Education/development side to complete Level 2 and discussion about budget and diary,” he said.

He also said that World Rugby now are more strategic in delivery of courses to answer Union needs.

“The move now is to have more accredited courses (Level 2 and 3) and less Level 1 and also constant refresher courses for educators.”

World Rugby is engaging with each union on completion of courses and there are very standard guidelines also for license educators.

All FRU Development officers and educators participated in the up skilling including two female coaches Paulini Tamatasasa and Tavaita Rowati.

Rowati who is a coach player for Striders Women’s Rugby team was grateful to attend the refresher and admitted that it was more detailed and focused.

“I did the 2-day Level 2 course in 2012 but I couldn’t finish it because I got stuck with the team profiling and player profiling but after Talemo explained in details I can now go back with a clearer picture,” Rowai said.

FRU educators are now been tasked to assist coaches to complete the course so at the end of the year we will see an increase in number of accredited coaches and an improvement in players performance.

 

COACH LEVEL 2 COMPLETION DRIVE

FRU Development Unit is seeking all Level 2 Attendees from 2008 to 2015 to please contact Mereti Din 8903868 or mereti@fijirugby.net and leave your current contact.

National Development Manager Sale Sorovaki said that there were a lot of coaches that have gone through the 2 day training but were challenged in finishing their assessments. Reasons for not completing may vary from coach to coach, but we are certain of one thing and that is to get as many coaches across to completing their Level 2 Accreditations.

We have gone back to our lists and can the following coaches please send your details to Mereti ASAP so we can start our assessments. Most coaches would have different addresses from when they first started and that could be one of the main challenges.

We will contact each one and audit their involvement before any assessment can begin.
