Silver Fern Rugby League Coaching Mat
The Silver Fern Rugby League Coaching Mat is a large-format tactical planning tool designed for rugby league coaches, trainers, and team managers. It’s built for use in changing rooms, clubrooms, or on the sideline where clear communication and quick adjustments matter.
At 2400 x 1500mm, this coaching mat gives you a full-field view to map out structures, set plays, and defensive shapes. It’s big enough for the whole squad to gather around, making it easier to walk players through roles and positioning before or during a game.
Built for Real Coaching Situations
This isn’t just a whiteboard. The size and layout let you show spacing, timing, and movement in a way players actually understand. You can step onto the mat, reposition markers, and physically demonstrate game scenarios, which is especially useful for junior teams or new combinations learning structure.
The surface is durable enough to handle players walking on it, so you can run through drills or simulate phases without worrying about wear. It rolls out quickly before training or a match, then packs down just as easily into the carry bag when you’re done.
For clubs travelling between grounds or sharing facilities, that portability makes a difference. Everything stays together, so you’re not chasing cones or magnets before kickoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this coaching mat suitable for all levels of rugby league?
Yes. It works for junior, school, club, and representative teams. The large format is especially useful for developing players learning structure.
