Your Pathway to Coaching Success

Netball Australia’s coaching accreditation framework aims to assist coaches to successfully move through the Coach Education Framework.

The coaching framework is a six-tier progression with each stage being accredited. Below is each step of the coaching pathway process.

Accreditation is one of the three key aspects of coach learning and provides coaches appropriate learning outcomes relevant to who they are coaching. Accreditation is critical for coaches to understand the key coaching, skill acquisition, game sense, player development and welfare, planning and risk management aspects of their role.

Coaches are encouraged to progress along the coaching accreditation pathway at their own pace and to find a level of accreditation that suits their coaching style and the level of player they enjoy coaching.

Updating

Updating involves coaches completing various tasks in a four year period following successful competition of an accredited course – Foundation, Development, Intermediate, Advanced and High Performance. It is a requirement that all coaches who become accredited must continue to update their knowledge to maintain their accreditation.

Information regarding prospective updating workshops/clinics can be found in the Netball QLD. Coaching on the Court Clipboard.
