The Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union(TTRFU) will be sending eight participants to the TTOC Sport Administration Course which will be held this weekend at the Lystra Lewis administration Center.
The National rugby Union as part of its development programme will pay the course fee for eight participants.However member rugby clubs are being encouraged by TTRFU President Dave Wong to send additional participants.
The TTRFU will also hold International Rugby Board(IRB) Level one and two coaching courses in November(18- 25).
Wong ,the first Tobagonian to hold the office of president of the TTRFU is confident that the strategic emphasis on coaching, club administration, referee and player development will ensure that local rugby will benefit from the high profile generated by the broadcasting of this year's IRB Rugby World Cup on local television.
"The strengthening of RUGBY'S development and administrative infrastructure is critical if we are to maximize the opportunities and potential offered by the high visibility of the Rugby World Cup-There will be increased interest in the sport ,in addition the current crop of players and coaches will benefit from seeing world class rugby".Wong said.
