the rfl set the coaching standards. at the moment there is new badges to work for you do a paper on rules a coaching session for maybe 15 mins and some book work. the level 2 now is more health and safety than coaching, bottles in a square, post protectors on ambuance access, first aid kits. these are supposed to be filled out before sessions. very few unless theyre completely hopless will fail a badge. many coaches in the junior game take a team on reluctanly as a parent as there is no one else and they do this to keep the teams afloat. they need help, they need to be looked at when theyve done there badge and guided along. the top badge to coach at sl and pro is supposed to be absolutly stupid, with 12 modules many none game related and at a cost of nearly a thousand pounds yes a grand.
