All coaches of all Development Programs, Club NSG & Junior teams should hold a minimum of Foundation Coach Accreditation.

Coaches can complete their Foundation Course via online learning within the Netball Australia’s ‘Netball Learning’ portal.  Click on the link https://learning.netball.com.au to register an account and join an online coaching course based on the level you are at. 

Ideally coaches should accredit prior to the start of the new netball season.  Coaching Accreditations are valid for 4 years.

Coaches should consider upskilling to Development Coach Accreditation level if they are coaching athletes/teams aged 12+ years.  Coaches of BNA Development Programs require a Development Coaching accreditation at a minimum and should be aspiring to achieve Intermediate Coach Accreditation level.

If your coach accreditation is due to expire in 2024, coaches should perform the necessary requirements to re-accredit at their current level, or attend the next level coaching course.  Successful completion of the next coaching level will provide you with 4 more years of coach accreditation.

In the first instance, coaches should check with their club to source reimbursement of coaching course fees, or then make enquiries with BNA.
