Content

The aim of this unit is to extend students’ theoretical knowledge and application of pedagogical models in coaching. Students learn how to plan, deliver and evaluate youth coaching sessions and develop season plans. The coaching focus is youth development and inclusive practice. Students are expected to observe, teach, reflect, and evaluate coaching sessions. The knowledge, skills, and practical experiences position students to coach and instruct youth in a variety of sport participation pathways. Students are required to find, organise and engage in a 30-hour coaching placement to create an authentic context to demonstrate their learning.
