SG-Coach Community Coaching Programme

Volunteers and Aspiring Coaches play a vital role in many coaching programmes, particularly those involved with children and special populations. Unfortunately, most volunteers and aspiring coaches may not have received formal training to prepare them adequately for the coaching role.

The SG-Coach Community Coaching Programme has been developed with the main objective of helping volunteer coaches or aspiring coaches who are currently assisting a NROC coach, to learn the basic skills of coaching.

An effective community coach will need a number of skills. Besides knowledge about the sport, he or she will need to know how to relay that knowledge effectively to the athletes. A community coach cannot coach independently and would need a mentor who is a NROC level 1 or 2 or 3 coach and/or from a Sporting Organisation.

To do this, Community Coaches will have to be able to:

Recognize the roles and responsibilities of a good coach
Understand the legal responsibilities, coach safety and protection, and risk management principles
Prepare a session plan to meet the participants needs and goals
Safely conduct a coaching session, ensuring fun, learning and maximum participation through games and activities.
Communicate effectively to build positive relationships with athletes and stakeholders
