Join the Texas Rugby Union at the Hilton Austin Airport from August 23-25 for the highly anticipated ninth annual Regional Development Summit. As the largest event of its kind in the nation, this summit offers a unique opportunity to obtain certification across multiple tracks, making it a must-attend for rugby enthusiasts of all levels.
Building on the success of previous years, we are excited to continue offering a range of World Rugby Certification Courses for Coaching (Level 1 and Level 2), Referee, and Strength & Conditioning. With the success of our continuing education courses last year, we are expanding the Rugby Knowledge Pathways and Referee Talent Development tracks.
We encourage clubs to maximize this opportunity by sending multiple members. For example, send one or two coaches, one or two administrators, players, supporters, and referees to get as much education and knowledge as possible.
The Rugby Knowledge Pathways provide participants with specialized knowledge and skills in various areas of rugby, allowing them to expand their expertise and excel in specific aspects of the game. Instructors will cover a wide range of topics, including player recovery, club management & administration, coaching the scrum, attack & defense, social media, and more. Each course is carefully designed to provide practical insights, expert guidance, and valuable skills that can be applied directly to your rugby journey.
Our Referee Talent Development courses are returning in a continued partnership with USA Rugby and TRRA. Designed for referees with at least one year of officiating experience, these courses will unlock your potential and elevate your officiating skills. Gain specialized training in effective refereeing, mental fitness, teamwork, game understanding, and scrummaging. Learn from experienced referees and gain valuable insights to take your career to new heights.
With limited spots available, we strongly encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your place. Sign up by Sunday, August 18, and don’t wait, as the event sells out quickly. Don’t miss out on this exceptional opportunity to learn from industry experts and connect with fellow rugby enthusiasts from across the region.
As a registered participant, you will receive a Summit shirt and tickets to the exciting Friday night Welcome Social and you can grab a discounted ticket to the Saturday night HOF banquet. It’s not just an educational experience—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant rugby community and forge lifelong connections.
