Club Coach Coordinator

Expression of interest form

Coaches are key influencers in developing and maintaining a positive club culture. They also have a significant impact on the lives of individuals within the club especially the players. Presently coaches are accredited through a sound educational structure within the AFL’s National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) recognised by The Australian Sports Commission (ASC). After completion of their coaching courses there is often little support for coaches beyond that.

The WAFC believes there is a growing need to support accredited coaches in clubs and schools and support their development in a variety of aspects of the multi-faceted role they play in the club or school environment. A club coaching coordinator could support and oversee the growth and development of individual coaches and enhance the overall effectiveness of the coach on site. This would facilitate the enjoyment of the coaches, players and officials within the organisation. 

The Course includes;

• Club Coach Coordinator Handbook
• Club Coach Coordinator Course Booklet
• Club Coach Coordinator Polo Shirt
• 4 Year AFCA Membership
• 4 Year Club Coach Coordinator Accreditation
• Free Access to all Club Coach Coordinator Seminars
• Coaching Resources
• Meals during course time
