Contact Ready Resources

Contact Ready is our national introductory programme made especially for teenage girls who are new, in their first year of rugby, or who are playing non-contact versions of the game. The programme seeks to enhance player safety and confidence when transitioning into contact versions of rugby. It's all about providing a safe space to learn and practice with girls of similar abilities, make friends and grow their love of rugby.

The Programme Guide and Coaches Kit are for coaches, clubs and Provincial Unions. Both of these guides  complement the face-to-face coach training that we recommend all coaches attend prior to any programme delivery.  Contact Ready is in a pilot stage for 2025, and will evolve based on feedback for an official launch in 2026.
