Course information
Thank you for attending the Level 1 Community Athletics Coach Course.
This course is being delivered as a Blending Learning mode, and as such 3 modules have been partially delivered to you as face to face delivery, being a mixture of theory and practical, and 2 modules will be delivered completely online.
The link below will provide you access to the Level 1 Community Athletics Coach Course online documentation. As a Blended Learning Participant you will have already viewed the power points related to Modules 1, 2 and 3 at your face to face day, but there are additional materials for you to view for each module and Modules 4 and 5 need to be viewed in their entirety online.
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.
