Coaching Courses

Courses for Parents

Little Athletics is a sport that requires parental involvement. In order for the athletes to thrive, our sport requires parents who are committed to coaching, education and training.

At Little Athletics we encourage interested parents to complete the Athletics Australia Level 1 Community Coaching Courses and Level 2 Club Coaching Courses. In addition, WA Little Athletics also run Introduction to Coaching Courses.

Clubs rely heavily on volunteer parents who are prepared to offer their time to support their club’s coaching activities by:

  • Volunteering at club training to learn the basics of skill development in the various events; and
  • Participating in coaching courses which are offered by WA Little Athletics and Athletics WA.
  • For information about coaching courses, please go to the tab “Courses and Clinics”.
