Third Coach in the Box

The Third Coach in the Box Program provides women and girls with the opportunity to step into a coaching environment and gain firsthand experience supporting a team on game day and at training. It is designed as a low-pressure introduction to coaching, allowing participants to learn from and work alongside an experienced coach without the responsibility of leading a team themselves.

Participants can be involved as much or as little as they like, whether that be observing, assisting with a specific line group, discussing game-day decision-making, or learning about key coaching responsibilities. The program is also highly flexible, with participants able to attend a single training session, one game, or multiple sessions throughout the season.

The aim of the program is to provide a supported pathway into coaching and help bridge the gap between the Coach Your Way Ready (CYWR) program and formal coaching roles within clubs.
