Structure of the Course: 3 x 2.5-hour online meetings (4:00pm - 6:30pm AWST) on Sunday, 31 May, 7 June, and 14 June.

Please note that this course is online-facilitated and attendance to all three online sessions is required to obtain accreditation. 

The Level 1 Youth Coach accreditation is designed for coaches who want to work with athletes aged 3-12 years old, and want to be involved in the early stages of athlete development (Fundamentals I and Fundamentals II in Athletics Australia’s Training and Competition Guidelines for Children and Adolescents).

The primary objective of a Youth Coach is to utilise a games-based approach to develop fundamental movement skills (such as running, jumping, and throwing) and foster physical literacy in a supportive training environment.  

Youth Coaches specialise in roles within Sporting Schools programs, Primary Schools, and Little Athletics centres.
