Leinster Rugby Academy Coaching Clinic announced for Feb. 15 at Xavier HS

Join us February 15th at Xavier High School as Leinster Rugby (in partnership with Syracuse University) present “Coaching Rugby the Leinster Way.”

Sponsored by RugbyNY, USA Youth & HS Rugby, and the NYAC Rugby Foundation and led by Leinster Rugby coaches, the one-day clinic aims to enhance the coaches’ understanding of the modern game and give them the tools to translate those tactics to their teams. 

Points of emphasis will be strength & conditioning, set piece play, and attack. There will also be a discussion with referees about the new law changes implemented by World Rugby.

The approach uses game-based and player-centered learning and emphasizes values such as teamwork, commitment, integrity, and communication to create a positive and supportive environment.
