RAN Regional Training Manager Scott Harland recently spent time in Jamaica to meet with the Union and deliver ongoing training and feedback to World Rugby Educators from Jamaica, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, and the Cayman Islands.
“These opportunities to share good teaching methods, review new material, and practice with colleagues are vital to maintain an effective education workforce across the RAN region,” said Harland. “Many thanks to the Jamaica Rugby Football Union for their assistance is organizing the courses, our other partner Unions in supporting their Educators, and to World Rugby for continuing to provide funds and resources to help us deliver quality rugby at all levels.”
"The First Aid in Rugby (FAIR) practical training session is an amazing organization of first aid essentials for the everyday coach, parent and athlete," said Jodian Simpson, Jamaica Rugby National Team Medical Staff Member and World Rugby FAIR Educator. "It empowers individuals to make more informed and safe decisions in case of any injuries and bridges a gap, especially in our Jamaican setting where medics are not always at training sessions or games. The resources provided by World Rugby through Scott to facilitate these face to face sessions were greatly appreciated as these are not always readily available to conduct sessions in this impactful manner. I believe this course can transcend past the rugby community and can be delivered to the Jamaican/Caribbean community and integrated across all sporting bodies and the wider public."
