Carol Byers, Coach Development and Participation
Manager, Netball Australia.

We've got a really good partnership with the
AASC and that's about developing coaches,

0:00:17.680,0:00:24.070
but it's also about developing participants
as well, so we recognise the coaching accreditation

0:00:24.070,0:00:31.070
that they recieve through the AASC and they
can apply to receive recognition, we give

0:00:31.150,0:00:35.539
them recognition of prior learning if they
want to do netball and become a foundation

0:00:35.539,0:00:40.579
coach, but it's also about making sure that
we provide the participants or the students

0:00:40.579,0:00:44.120
that are doing are doing the active after
school community with information about the

0:00:44.120,0:00:48.530
closest netball club that are running the
"Net Set Go" program that we have, so that

0:00:48.530,0:00:55.530
we can get participants on board and develop
lots of young netballers.

0:00:56.969,0:01:02.350
We wanted to make sure that we got our athletes
in as role models, so what we've offered,

0:01:02.350,0:01:07.930
is that for our elite athletes, they have
the skill, it's more the coaching and teaching

0:01:07.930,0:01:12.810
ability that they haven't been trained in,
so they can do the beginning coaching general

0:01:12.810,0:01:19.259
principles on line and then do the small teaching
assessment, and be assessed and we recognise

0:01:19.259,0:01:22.509
that they already have the skill and they
don't need to go through a course to learn

0:01:22.509,0:01:23.529
how to throw and catch.
