The Level O Coaching Course is designed specifically for women who are keen to learn about the basics of football so they can contribute in a great capacity at NAB Auskick clinics or junior football.
The courses, which were trialled for the first time last year, are perfect for females regardless of whether they‘re keen to try their hand at coaching or umpiring, or just want to be able to discuss the game with their kids, brothers, sisters, nieces or nephews
AFL Victoria Participation Manager Steve O’Donohue said the aim of the course was to break down barriers to females being involved in Auskick centres and junior clubs.
“The feedback we received was that women did not feel comfortable to jump in on a Saturday to take a drill, umpire a game or even have a kick with their kids in the backyard because they have had no experience in the game,” O’Donohue said.
“Through this course we hope they can gain the knowledge and skills in a comfortable and non-confronting environment that will enable them to play a bigger role in their child’s football development pathway.
“Those who attended last year really enjoyed getting out there and learning about football and, with many more destinations locked into host courses in 2015, we’re hoping reach women all over the city.
“NAB AFL Auskick and junior football relies on volunteers, usually parents, filling important roles such as coach or assistant coach, goal umpire, team manager and time keeper, so having more women keen to help out will benefit everyone.”
