State Director of Coaching From a humble and disjointed beginning, Australian football has emerged into an era of dynamic and spectacular game presentation and growth. I FOOT BALL SHOULD BE GREAT . In NSW, the code is rapidly expanding and the emphasis on coaches to realise their fullest potenti(!I is becoming increasingly important. A primary coaching course is to be held in each region of NSW and each association in Sydney. Why is this considered necessary? This is because, although there are many dedicated and well-intentioned people coaching teams - particularly at.Junior lev~l-some are not competent . to teach skills and some are not familiar with the correct priorities with modern coaching attitudes. The structure of the Primary course is six hours, with no examination. Free material and a certificate is issued. · . It is designed for study from resources and is mainly without lectures for mass accreditatio of coaches at Notice of teacher level. , This then leads int_o the Level 1 coaching course. * * * * * * * * Some of the major events at Junior levei"in 1982 are: 1) The 1982 under 17 Teal Cup Australian championships will be held in Bri.sbane on June 11, 13 and 14: . The NSW Teal Cup team will be selected from a camp at the Lake Hume Aquatic Resort, Albury, on May 21, 22 and 23.
