The Australian Coaching Council

The ACC and the NCAS – a brief history

•The ACC was established in 1978 as a national organisation representing sports and the commonwealth and state governments. It is responsible for co-ordinating the National Development of Coaching. They, in turn, co-ordinate the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme with its primary objectives being:

•The establishment of a national education and accreditation scheme for all coaches in all sports.

• The provision of opportunities for all coaches to undertake some form of training in sports coaching.

•The Australian Sports Commission funds the ACC.

The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme

The ACC and the NCAS – a brief history

•The National Coaching Accreditation Scheme offers a development program for coaches with courses at four levels. Coaches involved in the scheme gain increased status and improve coaching skills resulting in long term benefits for coaches, their athletes and their national sporting associations.

•Currently Futsal has Level 0 (non certificate), Level 1 and Level 2 courses. Since Football Federation Australia’s inclusion into the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) extended Futsal courses have been developed.

The Coach

• Why have you decided to coach?

•I decided to coach because I fell in love with Futsal. It was a new sport and I was very good at it. Over time my experiences gained from International exposure prompted me to give back to the sport I loved. The best way, I thought, to increase popularity in Futsal was to show people what I had learned and they too would fall in love with the sport.
