Thinking about coaching?
Perhaps you’re thinking of coaching a team or have been asked to help. Find out how to make your job easier and how to get accredited as a coach if you want to go to that level.
Coaching skills
Not sure where to start? Here are some tips from the Australian Sports Commission:
- Conducting a training session
- How to motivate young people
- Demonstrating a skill
- Coaching for fun and success
- Getting the most from your session
- Inclusive practices for junior sport programs
Why not also try some traditional indigenous games? With names like Woggabaliri and Yiri, they make an interesting change in a training session.
Rules, ethics and safety
Each game has its rules of play, and you must know these so kids can learn how to play properly. Contact your NSW State Sporting Body for a list of the rules relevant to your sport.
But there are also ethical and child protection ‘rules’ that govern how coaches should behave. Added to these are medical and safety considerations.
