Foundations of Coaching Course
The online Foundation Coach accreditation course is targeted primarily at beginner coaches, teachers, parents and NetSetGO coaches. It outlines introductory coaching information and basic netball techniques. The course is the first step in the national coaching accreditation framework and is an important step along the knowledge pathway for a coach.
The course looks at:
- The role of the coach
- Planning
- Teaching netball skills
- The coach in action
The cost is $55.00 – but Murwillumbah Netball Association will reimburse you this fee once you have completed the course – email your receipt to: treasurer@murwillumbahnetball.org.au.
Enrol at any time of the day or night from the comfort of your own home at mynetball.com.au. Upon successful completion of all four modules, you will receive the Netball Australia Foundation Coach Accreditation and certificate of completion. You also have the option to purchase the Foundation Coaching Manual which contains lots of coaching activities and games for all levels.
