Rugby Americas North Courses

Rugby requires a wide-range of roles to ensure a safe, smooth, and fair competition environment. Roles such as coaching, refereeing, disciplinary, match organization, and administrative are filled by accredited and experienced individuals who have prepared through education opportunities. World Rugby and Rugby Americas North offers training courses throughout the year and region for these roles.

For World Rugby L1 courses, please contact your host Union to work with RAN to host a course.

In the RAN region, most World Rugby L2 courses are delivered in Canada, United States, and/or Mexico. You can also work with your Union and RAN to host a L2 course.
