Education and accreditation

Coach celebrating with athletes
Our coaches are our lifeblood, without their dedication to our sport and their continued education to maintain their accreditation we could not provide quality gymnastic classes to the community - Meander Valley Gymnastics Club Inc

Undertaking training as a coach is an important step in ensuring you are providing quality coaching to the participants you are working with. The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme is Australia’s system of training and accrediting coaches, which more than 70 sports participate in.

There are a number of ways of undertaking training as a coach, including face to face courses, online training, or working with a mentor coach. Click on the tabs above to access more information about coach education and training.
