National Coach Accreditation Scheme

To ensure all athletes and participants enjoy a safe and rewarding sport, Rowing Australia is working continually to build an effective and relevant coach accreditation program. This is supplemented with a calendar of coach education events and a large variety of coach education resources. Our task is to ensure we have qualified coaches delivering safe and rewarding programs to all school, club and elite athletes.

Vision

Objectives

  • Rowing Australia aims to deliver a World Class coach education and accreditation program that is relevant, accessible and of high quality.
  • The Program should become the primary coaching resource for every level of coach in Australia
  • The primary outcome of training and up-skilling coaches – must be to transfer theoretical knowledge into implementing more effective coaching practices.
