The candidate should have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills, with the ability to develop a winning mentality across the players and coaches alike.

The intention is that forwards from all teams will train together as often as possible.
Experience coaching the front row / tight five will be given preference. ARU Coaching or equivalent accreditation preferred.
2nd / 3rd / Grade Coaches
These roles will suit candidates looking to further develop their coaching skills, with a view to coaching at a higher level in the future.
The 2nd & 3rd Grade Coaches play an integral role in the identification of playing talent, especially as Waverley is in the fortunate position to be able to recruit players across the season.
The challenge in the roles will be to identify capable players in lower grades, develop their ability, in order to ensure we are fielding the best team in each grade, maximising our chances of winning premierships.
