Level 2 AFL Auskick Leader This course caters for those who wish to take up the role of an AFL Auskick Centre co-ordinator or club coaching co-ordinator. Requirements: Hold a current AFL Level 1 Coaching Accreditation. Course duration: 30 hours. Assessment: Participants are assessed practically either on the job or in a match environment. Accreditation: Successful participants receive an AFL Level 2 Coaching Certificate, an AFL Coach ID card and their new accreditation is entered onto the national coaching database. AFL High Performance Coaching Course (Level 3) This course is designed for Level 2 coaches involved in or aspiring to coach in the AFL, state leagues, TAC Cup, AIS/AFL Academy or other elite programs. Coaches must apply to be invited to participate in the weeklong live-in program. This is the highest accreditation offered by the AFL and covers in greater depth some of the competencies developed in Level 2, while also covering up-to-date issues such as emerging technology, media relations and coaches as program managers and mentors. RE-ACCREDITATION An AFL coach accreditation is valid for four years from the date that the accreditation was granted – usually December 31 in the year of completing the course. Level 1 Application to re-accredit should be made direct to the coaches’ local Regional Development Manager or State Coaching Manager. To maintain accreditation, coaches must demonstrate that they: • Continued to coach during the four years. • Were a registered member of their Australian Football Coaches Association (AFCA) branch throughout the four years. • Are prepared to sign the AFL Coaches’ Code of Conduct when seeking re-accreditation. • Are prepared to submit to any screening procedures required at the time of re-accreditation. • May have continued to undertake further education, formal or informal, to enhance their coaching abilities. Levels 2 and 3 Application to re-accredit at Level 2 or 3 must be made direct to the State Director of Coaching or to the AFL National Coaching Development Manager. To maintain Level 2 or 3 accreditation, coaches must demonstrate the same requirements as above and provide evidence of further coach development undertaken. In the form of: • Courses undertaken, whether football specific or generic. • Presentations made (e.g.: as part of a Level 1 or Level 2 coaching course). • Articles written or submitted on coaching topics. • Working with a mentor coach throughout the four-year period. • Mentoring of other coaches. • Any other evidence of coach development/improvement. Note: Re-accreditation is not automatic. 202 AFL Youth Coaching Manual
AFL COACHES’ CODE OF CONDUCT The AFL Coaches’ Code of Conduct is to be signed and conformed to as part of the accreditation requirements of the AFL. The AFL Coaches’ Code of Conduct provides a process through which leagues, clubs and schools can expect that basic standards of behaviour by the coach are maintained at all times. Coaches should be aware that, in addition to this code, they may be obliged to sign a further Code of Conduct/Ethics with their club and/or league. Coaches must also submit to police screening to ensure that the quality and integrity of the program and the well-being of players is assured. Australian Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Membershio of the AFCA is an automatic part of coach accreditation. The AFL produces a regular coaching newsletter to demonstrate the latest information about coaching. The AFCA is operational in all states and territories of Australia, managed by the state coaching managers in each state. The state and regional AFCA branches perform the following services for their members: • Annual Coach of the Year Awards and recognition. • Local coaching newsletters. • Regional workshops and seminars conducted. • Resourcing and maintaining coaches resource centres for coaches use. For more information about the AFL coaching courses and resources, please log onto the AFL web site at www.afl.com.au and click on development on the home page and then the coaching section. Further Information For more information about courses, resources, updating accreditation and the AFCA, contact your local state coaching manager. AFL Youth Coaching Manual 203
