FREE AASC Community Coach Training Program

Active After School CommunitiesWOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP KIDS IN YOUR COMMUNITY GET ACTIVE?

The Active After-school Communities (AASC) program is a national initiative that provides primary school-aged children with access to free, structured physical activity programs in the after-school hours timeslot. The program aims to engage traditionally inactive children in sport and other structured physical activities, and through a positive and fun experience, develop a love of sport that inspires them to join a local sporting club. Coaches from the community are needed to help deliver these activities and they attend the Community Coach Training Program prior to getting started.

The Australian Sports Commission’s Active After-School Communities (AASC) Program is conducting a FREE Coaching Course on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th of December. It is open to students, volunteers, teachers, parents, club coaches, beginner coaches, professional coaches and community members.

To gain your Foundation Coach Accreditation through the AASC program, all you have to do is:

  • Complete a successful appraisal conducted by a AASC staff member (there are 154 AASC Regional Coordinators across the country)
  • Apply for your Foundation Coach Accreditation through your state netball association

Who is it for?
This process is available for anyone who would like to coach in the AASC and also have an interest in gaining coaching accreditation in netball.

Jourdan Moving On

Netball NT Development Officer Jourdan Pym has relinquished his position with Netball NT. My understanding is he has his sights set for the sky but intends to remain in Darwin for the interim. He has assured me that he will still be actively involved in the netball community and looks forward to seeing us all on court.

Personally I’d like to wish Jourdie good luck in his future endeavours and a big thankyou for helping make netball in the NT what it is today.
