What’s the Course About?

You’ll learn how to coach kids with a focus on fun, movement, and good habits from the start.

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.
