SSA sports coaching and school teacher accreditations provide best practice approaches, techniques, and activities for sports coaches to conduct safe, engaging, relevant, progressive, and high participation sessions relevant to the specific development stages and goals of the athletes under their care.

Our coaching and teaching accreditations are delivered in six distinct categories of accreditation so that coaches can develop the skills specific to the development needs of their athletes under their care:

  • Foundation: The skills and knowledge required to work with junior and primary school athletes aged 6-10 years who are starting their sporting journey.
  • Development: The skills and knowledge required to work with adolescent athletes aged 11-15 years as they navigate the emotional, physical, and developmental changes from junior to senior athletes
  • Performance: The skills and knowledge required to progressively work with athletes aged 16 years + towards performance related goals
  • Participation: The skills and knowledge required to work with teenage and adult athletes towards a participation pathway of being active for life
  • Physical Literacy (Primary School Teachers): The skills and knowledge required to deliver progressive and engaging physical literacy skills to primary school aged children as part of the school curriculum
