Course Information

Overview

The Club Head Coaches workshop is aimed primarily at individuals who are in a leadership position within a club environment such as Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Chairperson and Club Secretary and aims to support their development within that role.  

Each workshop is built upon core principles and tailored to the coaches needs, so no two workshops will look exactly the same. To facilitate this tailoring process a pre-workshop webinar will provide those attending the opportunity to shape the content of the day from the topics below.

• Understanding the Role of a Head Coach

• Building a vision for your club and coaching team

• Growing and developing a club and the coaching infrastructure that supports it

• Understanding the 'business' aspects of clubs (e.g. tax and insurance implications) Developing individual coaches

• Building a coaching team within a club

• Planning and providing training opportunities within a club, for athletes and coaches

• Managing safety and welfare in a club.
