Coaches in South Australia
Coaching is the very basis of how the sport develops. With quality coaches, the sport can only improve. Clubs, ARCHERY South Australia & Archery Australia pride themselves on the quality of the National Coaching Programme and the resulting cohort of coaches, which continues to reproduce consistent coaching methodologies and high quality instruction at grassroots levels and beyond, to elite level. All accredited coaches are required to have current Working with Children Checks (you cannot coach if you do not have a valid Working with Children Check – there are no exceptions).
Accredited coaches are covered under Archery Australia’s insurance policy, while undertaking coaching related to authorised Club, State and National programmes.
Please note: A person offering coaching services in all other circumstances, or not on the list on this page, or not under the direct supervision of a coach on that list, is NOT covered by Archery Australia’s insurance and, if you are engaging that person’s services (particularly for fee or reward), you should ensure the person has appropriate and current Personal Professional Indemnity Insurance.
