What is Getting Started in Coaching?
The Getting Started in Coaching course is a KiwiSport funded, generic entry level course for beginner coaches and/or people who are considering getting into coaching. The non-sport specific course covers the basics of coaching with the aim of providing an insight to what is involved.

Why?
The aim of the course is to give attendees a number of ‘tools’ to build their coaching confidence and will equip the coach with the skills to provide a positive experience for children to learn fundamental skills and ensure ongoing participation in sport.

What's involved?
The course is 2 hours and is practical and interactive, focusing on the generic aspects of coaching:

Understanding the athlete & athlete centered coaching
Planning a session
Coaching a skill
Behavior management

More information about the course (including a video) is available on the Sport Wellington website http://www.sportwellington.org.nz/getting-started-in-coaching-gelcc/

Is there a cost?
