Level 2 Development Coach

Overview

The Level 2 – Development Coach accreditation is designed for coaches interested in working with athletes aged 12+ years old, and/or want to be involved in the Introduction to Training and Training I (General) stages of development (outlined in Athletics Australia’s Training and Competition Guidelines for Children and Adults).

  • The primary objective of a Development Coach is to teach athletes the technical model of Track and Field events and develop biomotor abilities.

  • Development Coaches offer structured, coach-led practices designed to improve performance and prepare athletes for local, regional, and state level competitions.

  • Development Coaches specialise in roles in Little Athletics centres, Senior Athletics clubs, Masters Athletics clubs, as well as primary and high schools settings (working as a Track and Field coach). They may also provide private coaching.
