National Coaching Advisory Panel
The National Coaching Advisory Panel has been established to provide strategic advice to the ASC on all facets of coaching to ensure that the ASC continues to provide national leadership and strengthen the coaching pathway.
The Panel will:
- Advise the Commission on how sports can develop and deliver coaching pathways that are at the forefront of international coaching developments.
- Promote the importance of coaching and the coach pathway as a vital part of the athlete development pathway and Australia’s future sporting success at all levels.
- Articulate the challenges and issues facing coaches and the coaching system at all levels of Australian sport.
- Input into the Commission’s realignment of its strategic direction for coaching, in the form of a revised plan or framework, incorporating the development and enhancement of coaches at all levels of Australian sport.
- Act as ambassadors on issues related to coaches and coaching, including attending and presenting at ASC convened workshops, conferences and other events as appropriate.
- Provide a forum for communication and cooperation between the Commission Board, senior management and key stakeholders.
The formation of the Panel supports the Australian Government’s Australian Sport: Emerging Challenges, New Directions document released in May 2008, which references the need for greater recognition of the importance of coaches.
The inaugural meeting of the Panel was held on Friday 7 August 2009 in Sydney.
