Coaching Bio

I am a current member of the Australian Wallaroos, and Queensland Reds and I have also played for the Hurricanes in New Zealand. I play fly-half or fullback. I love to help others excel in something I am passionate about.

I grew up in New Zealand and I have 3 older brothers so playing rugby was inevitable. I started playing at the age of 5 and fell in love with the game, I have continued to play since then. Coming through the age grades I was usually the only girl in my team, but I feel that helped me grow into the player I am today. I would love to see more girls getting involved and create a pathway for them. When I got to high school, that's when I finally started to play in the Feilding High School Girls first fifteen team. It was a massive shock being 50kg and about 5 foot 1, playing against and alongside 18-year-olds but once again I loved the challenge and stuck with it. From there I made all the age group rep teams, then went on to play for my province (Manawatu Cyclones) at the age of 17 in the Farah Palmer Cup in NZ. I continued to play for the Manawatu Cyclones until I was 22 years old, in that time I also became Hurricanes Poua player #1, and spent two seasons with them before making my way to Australia to play for the Queensland Reds in 2023. It was here I fell in love with rugby in Australia, and through my father being born here, I was eligible to play for the Australian Wallaroos. In May 2023 I debuted against Fiji and won my first ever game for them. I am still currently a member and looking to keep excelling. I have coached fielding high school first 15, ran holiday programs for kids aged 4-12 and delivered rugby sessions to school students aged 5-12 years.
* I'm currently unavailable for coaching, I expect to return on Saturday the 31st of October 2026. Please join my waitlist if you'd like to train together when I return. *

Rachel - 22-12-2023

Carys is a fantastic coach. She came prepared with a full coaching session based on our preliminary discussion. She worked through each skill session breaking it into each element in a way that was easy to understand for a 13yo. She is a great communicator and natural teacher. I would thoroughly recommend a session wit ...
