How to become a Club Coach (Formerly level 1)

If you are interested in becoming a coach you will need to complete the following steps:
Step 1
Contact your State Association and find out when the next coaching course will be held nearest to you.
Step 2
You will be required to do two components to become a club coach. As a pre-requisite you will be required to complete 'Beginning General Principles in Coaching'. This is required to be completed within 6 months prior to the coaching course or after for you to become a coach.
You can do this course on line (it takes approx 4-6 hours). Click on the link below for beginning principles
www.dsr.nsw.gov.au/training/coaching_asconline.asp and then click on the ASC learning portal and register.
Step 3
On completion of the general principles you will be able to print off a completion certificate, take the certificate with you to the coaching course if completed prior to the course or once completed take your certificate to the course administrator for processing as a club coach. Upon completion of your coaching course, the fee for registering with the Australian Sports Commisssion is an initial cost of $25.00 which includes your wallet size coaching ID card.

Once accredited with the Australian Sports Commission, you will be registered as a coach for four years. You will be supplied with a wallet size ID card with your details and a record card to record your coaching lessons which will be required to be signed off by a committee member of the club where you hold the lessons or a coach of a higher level.

Renewal
When your four years are due to expire you will need to forward your record card to the ACTA to renew for a further four years. You will be reissued with a new ID card.

This process is currently under review and changes will be made to the renewal process as soon as it becomes available.
