Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brian McDermott is to hold a Master Class Defensive Plays coaching workshop as part of the Leeds Rugby Coaching Association (LRCA).
The session, which will be the third part of defensive workshops delivered by McDermott, will take place on Monday 23rd September from 6.45pm until 8.15pm at Kirkstall Academy Training Ground. It is open to any coaches who coach U12 age groups all the way though to open age teams.
This is a once in a life-time opportunity for coaches to learn from the best of the best. The workshop will teach high-class Super League defensive plays through the use of practical play, video footage and group discussion.
There will first be a meet and welcome before McDermott will coach a local Community Youth Club on ruck defence and marker. There will then be coaching through some practical games before concluding with a Q&A session with Brian McDermott.
Sam Horner Community Club Development Officer at Leeds Rugby Foundation added: "The LRCA is now established as a coach educator provider and the involvement of Brian McDermott along with the Leeds Rhinos performance team has more than added a professional edge to the programme.
"The programme includes offensive, defensive strategies, nutrition, conditioning, drug awareness and specialist workshops on coaching junior players," he added.
"We are evolving the programme continually, asking coaches who attend for feedback, but we always use the professional approach."
