Coaching

ONLINE
The online Fundamentals of Coaching Course is designed to provide foundational knowledge in a range of volleyball coaching concepts and skills. It is targeted towards those engaged in coaching at local junior club and school-team level, as well as primary school (Spikezone) programs. A Level 1 Coaching Accreditation is the minimum requirement for coaches at certain competitions throughout Australia, and is an important stepping stone for those looking to reach higher levels of Accreditation.

Price: $55.00
Pre-requisites: Participants must be turning at least 14 years old in the year the Accreditation starts.
Includes: Nationally recognised Level 1 Accreditation and certificate.

Please note, content from the following online modules is now included in the Fundamentals of Coaching Course so applicants will no longer be required to upload completion badges from the SIA/PBTR courses listed below. These completion badges are still required for Level 2 and above Accreditations.

• Play by the Rules – Harassment and Discrimination
• SIA – Child Safeguarding in Sport Induction (For 18 year olds and over only)
