The new coach development program recently completed a successful limited fall schedule that served as a testing ground for the New CDP adaptations from the previous CAP program. The changes and additions to the program have been met with rave reviews from various participants and organizations regarding the new format and development of the on-line USA Rugby Coach’s Portal.

To get a feel for the enthusiasm in the International Rugby Community for the USA Rugby Coach's Portal take a look at the IRB/NAWIRA Information Page. - “I have taken a good look through the various pages and modules, and I must congratulate you on the excellent job that you have done! I want to recognize your fine work.” - Tom Jones, IRB Regional Development Manager North America and The West Indies

In an effort to ensure a fair RFP selection process takes place, USA Rugby has adopted a timeline to be used in host site selection. Please consult the CDP seasonal schedule outline for more details on how and when to apply to host workshops to your region.
