Welcome to Edinburgh Accies Youth Coaching Handbook! This handbook is split into 3 separate sections, each with useful articles to guide our voluntary coaches and managers to support the delivery of a consistent, effective and enjoyable youth rugby programme.

Please navigate through the below buttons where you’ll find our Accies Youth Curriculum and best practice guides to plan, design and deliver coaching sessions, a repository of ready-to-use session plans aligned to Accies facilities and equipment, and some other useful information around year group management, kit/equipment and tournament/match formats.

If you have any questions about this handbook or have some ideas to add to it, then please e-mail youth@edinburghaccies.com.
