Sport specific
Australian Sports Commission
There are more than 70 sports that are involved in the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS). Each sport sets it's own system of coach education and accreditation, within national guidelines set by the Australian Sports Commission. Contact the national or state sporting organisation for the sport in which you are interested in coaching for information on their coach education and accreditation system. Most state and regional sporting organisations conduct regular coach accreditation courses.
NCAS training programs include the following components:
- coaching general principles – generic principles of coaching and athletic performance that apply to all sports
- sport-specific – skills, techniques, strategies and approaches to the particular sport
