SmartRugby Program

SmartRugby is an occupational health and safety program for Australia's Rugby participants. It is a compulsory minimum requirement for every coach and referee participating in Rugby where there is a tackling component. SmartRugby is mandatory requiring qualification every two years. To be fully effective it requires ongoing commitment rather than just occasional attention.

Courses are FREE from State and Territory Union Coach Education Departments. It is necesary to register for the courses near you.

Ready Rugby offer the convenience of coming to your club and providing the SmartRugby program on the date and time you wish. We have a qualified SmartRugby presenter, Greg Gerrard, who can fit into your club's training program. 

We understand that getting your coaches to attend the programs are an ongoing nightmare and often it is easier to run a SmartRugby program during or after a club event in which you know all coaches will attend.

We understand that often having the programs run at your club will mean that all coaches will attend.

Therefore if you feel that you need to run the SmartRugby Course at your club in order to qualify all your coaches thsn contact us and we can arrange the date and time to suit you. We will come and run the program for the entire club at the minimal cost of $140 per session.
