Are you a ‘new’ coach?
Coaching is a positive and fun way to give back to sport and/or the community. However, coaching becomes even more fun, for the coach and the participants, when the coach keeps learning about coaching. The purpose of the module is to give you some general information about how to coach young or beginner participants. Some of the information will be new to you, some of it you may know from your own experiences in sport, or perhaps as a parent or a teacher. But whatever your background, we hope the information here will increase your confidence to coach, and inspire you to learn more about how you can help the children (or beginner adults) you coach have a fun and quality experience.
Enjoy the activities in the module and happy coaching!
*The course is free and accessible at any time and takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.

Are you a ‘new’ coach or willing to grow your knowledge?
Coaching is a positive and fun way to give back to sport and/or the community. However, coaching becomes even more fun, for the coach and the participants, when the coach keeps learning about coaching. The purpose of the Coaching Safety Net Module is to give you some ideas about how to create a safe sporting environment. For beginner participants (children or adults), fun is a key reason they get involved in and stay in sport. But for sport to be fun, it needs to be safe (for the participants and the coach). Some of the information in the module is common sense, and some may be new to you. Either way, we hope this module helps you to make sport safe and fun for the participants and yourself.
