Contact Confident is a player welfare contact preparation program delivered to players and coaches at the same time, in the same environment. The program is designed to build confidence, physical competence, and safety in contact, with a specific focus on tackle and ruck preparation.

Aligned with World Rugby player welfare principles, Contact Confidence emphasizes preparation for contact. Participants learn how bodies move, brace, fall, react, and recover safely. Our goal is to create a shared understanding of expectations, language, and technique across clubs.

Players and coaches learn together and develop a common framework for contact preparation, improving consistency in training environments and supporting safer progression into contact rugby.
