Since the Conference did not eventuate we have been working on an alternative for both the coaches and the officials.

We have the opportunity to bring Paul Manera over on the weekend of the 14th September to run a Coaching Development Seminar.

The sessions are open to coaches, officials and players.

The focus of the seminar will be Player Safety and Safe Tackle Techniques.
We believe that all coaches should attend this session as the safety aspect of our sport remains a high priority.

The target date is either Friday evening the 13th September or Saturday morning the 14th December.  
The Friday evening session is in response to clubs having training sessions on Saturdays. 
If the interest was split over the two days we could hold two sessions.

The venue is TBA and there is no cost to attend.

Please respond to this by Next Tuesday 27th August
We only have a limited time to get this organised given Paul's commitments. 

This is a link to the form (here) to register your interest in attending.
