A great coach encourages and inspires; they attract and retain people in sport and this is why our continued support for education and training of coaches is essential. The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS), a partnership between the Australian Sports Commission and national sporting organisations, is a world-leading coach education system that aims to enhance the sporting experiences of participants through quality coaching. This Manual covers the essential coaching skills of planning, management, safety, learning and teaching processes, and individualisation. It also provides an introduction to a range of sports science principles that can be applied to coaching to improve the performance of all sports participants. I am confi dent that through this manual combined with sport-specifi c training programs you will gain the skills and knowledge required to contribute to Australia’s fi ne coaching tradition. I wish you well on your journey—and those you inspire along the way. SIMON HOLLINGSWORTH CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION VI National Coaching Accreditation Scheme overview The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) is an initiative of the Australian Sports Commission. It is a progressive coach education program offering accreditations at various levels, and provides the industry standard qualifi cation for coaches. The NCAS offers education, training and a nationally recognised accreditation to coaches working at all levels of sport, from coaching beginners through to elite-level athletes. Accreditation programs developed in conjunction with national sporting organisations are designed to improve and recognise the competence of coaches. Over 70 recognised national sporting organisations are part of the NCAS. Each year approximately 25 000 coaches gain accreditation. The NCAS: • increases confi dence and competence in coaching ability • promotes an ongoing progressive improvement of knowledge and expertise • incorporates an involvement with, and understanding of, sports science, enabling a more in-depth approach to coaching • promotes the use of safe and correct techniques • aims to increase the enjoyment of sport for coaches and athletes. Flexible accreditation framework The levels within the NCAS have undergone some fundamental changes in recent years. The previous NCAS framework required sports to conform to a three-tier structure (Levels 1, 2 and 3). Under the fl exible accreditation framework each sport now determines the number, name and levels of their NCAS accreditation programs to best meet the needs of their coaching education pathways. To fi nd out the coach accreditation pathway your sport has adopted, contact your state or national sporting organisation. Visit www.ausport.gov.au/coach for further information on the NCAS.
