Thanks

Coaches and officials are the lifeblood of Australian sport and the backbone of many sporting organisations. They contribute their valuable time, effort and expertise in assisting participants to develop their skills and enjoy their sport.

The Thanks Coaches and Officials program has been developed by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) to assist clubs to recognise and reward their hard working coaches and officials. A range of online resources that can be used to thank coaches and officials are available via the tabs above.

Further information for clubs on strategies for recruiting and retaining coaches and officials can be found by visiting Tools for Clubs.
