COMPETITIVE STREAM

• Consider your coaching context: ✓ Your athletes’ skill, ages ✓ Your knowledge, coaching experience, interest

• Coaching Streams are not sequential. That means, if you want to do Competition Introduction, you do not have to complete Community first.

• However, if you are a Comp-Intro Coach & wish to coach 8 yr olds, you’ll require Community Training

• Coaching Levels are now aligned with the Long Term Athlete Development Matrix:
