Coaching

Want to give something back to our great game? No matter what your goals are, be it: provide basic advice to your son or daughters team, develop the next wave of potential AFL talent or coach a local senior club, there is a coaching accreditation course to suit you.

Our great game relies heavily on the dedication and commitment of our coaches to communicate, inspire and educate players all over Australia. Coaches have a significant influence on players’ enjoyment and participation. Coaches are the primary reason why players either continue to participate or leave football. Therefore, it is crucial that coaches are accredited at an appropriate level and for the appropriate playing group.

The AFL, through its Game Development Department and state affiliates develops implements and conducts training programs for the development of coaches.

Courses are largely practical with an emphasis on planning, organisation of training sessions, appropriate methods of teaching and correcting techniques, developing skills and preparing players for safe participation in the game.
