The Introduction To Coaching Course (ITCC) is designed to help participants become better placed to assist children to perform basic athletic skills. It is a non accredited practical coaching course designed for Little Athletics and conducted on behalf of Coles Little Athletics Australia.

The course is great for parents, school teachers and other interested persons who want to know a little more about the skills of the sport so that they may help to coach children of Primary school age, assist at Little Athletics Centres or prepare students for a school athletics carnival. Participants will be shown skills, drills, games and activities relevant to the target age group.

Course Outcomes

At the conclusion of the course the participant will, for the target age group:

• Better understand an appropriate working model for each Little Athletics event
• Have a greater knowledge of appropriate drills, skills, games and activities for particular event groups
• Identify some of the more common technical faults of events
• Have a basic understanding of a simple coaching session
• Better understand how to organise a group safely
