CHAPTER I
FUNCTIONS OF THE COACH
A coach must create an emotional atmosphere suitable for learning. No machine, regardless of how sophisticated it may be, can do that job.

The task of organising
How to reduce the managerial tasks
In age grade rugby, the coach’s managerial task has an essential role. It is common that any setting that involves children will be reined by disorganisation and chaos if there are no clear rules of organisation respected by everyone. Sometimes, valuable time can be wasted in tasks that are not actually teaching. Strictly speaking, the coach has to try to be organised, which means optimising the time he has and making it worthwhile.
It is also true that the coach has a tiresome situation to deal with, as the tasks are usually endless and time is extremely limited. In this sense, making the most of it is essential for the training session to develop quickly and effectively. To this end, there are a few measures that can be taken to devote as little time as possible to the ‘managerial tasks.’
To begin with, in an amateur sport like this one, planning must be done in such a way that it puts the focus on the non-managerial or ‘teaching’ tasks, so as to optimise the player’s learning. Some ways to reduce the managerial tasks are as follows:
1º Set organisational routines: making the players incorporate the same routine and making them carry it out together helps optimise time. For example, that the players go to the changing rooms to put on their boots once the physical training is finished without needing specific instructions; or that the players know beforehand to gather in a circle around the coach in the middle of the field.
2º Calls and reminders: calls and reminders are key words that remind the players what to do at a given moment. For example, if the coach yells ‘group’, they should know to gather around him.
3º Fluency in communication: fluency in age grade rugby is essential and it’s achieved by trying to avoid interruptions or long explanations. Kids’ attention span is short, so minor topics should not be delved into. As coaches, we should know that kids’ attention is also scant, so it can be affected at any time by external factors. Because of this, it is better to address them in a straightforward, clear, and brief way.
Organisational tips
Some tips help reduce the tasks that make up the training organisation:
Each drill should have its own name:this will help the players remember what they have to do. This way, we won’t have to go into explanations every time we have to do an exercise. The name should be simple, allusive, and easy to remember. Some examples may be: ‘the alley,’ ‘two dogs and a bone,’ ‘the octopus,’ etc.
Know the players’ names:it is essential that the coaches know their players’ names, not only from a managerial point of view, but also to call the kid’s attention and involve him in the message that we are trying to communicate. Kids feel appreciated if there is knowledge of their own person; it makes them feel important.
Don’t split the players by name but by position:some age grade teams are quite numerous, and we often face a complex situation when it comes to splitting the players to start the session. In this sense, there is a common mistake that consists of organising the players in a pre-established manner, reading each name to form
