We are pleased to be able to offer all current and future coaches an Essentials for Coaching Children course, to be held at Glenelg Primary School (GPS).
The Essentials for Coaching Children (ECC) course is a brief, practical survival course for coaches. The course aims to give new or aspiring coaches of any age the basic skills, knowledge and tips needed to provide an effective, enjoyable sporting experience for the children they coach. This course is coordinated by the Government of SA, Office for Sport, Recreation and Racing.
Glenelg Primary School parents attended this course last year and gave positive feedback on the practical information shared, and resources given. We are fortunate to be invited along with Glenelg Primary coaches this year.
