SIS20321- Certificate II in Sport Coaching

(Auspiced by iVET RTO 40548)

Overview

The Sport Coaching program has been developed with community sport and passionate sporting students in mind. Students who complete this program will develop a variety of skills and the knowledge to contribute to sport at the community level in assistant coaching or official roles. The program includes practical coaching and officiating experience that will challenge and ultimately build student confidence, and decision-making skills. The opportunity also exists for students to improve their own sporting performance by learning about physical conditioning.

This program is flexible, allowing teachers to incorporate their own sporting experience and knowledge to tailor the practical experiences to manage classes that include varied sporting ability and to meet student learning needs.
