This subject provides students with the opportunity to complete a SIS20321 VET Certificate II in Sports Coaching.

Students will develop foundational knowledge in coaching, training, and team management, helping them to understand the sports industry. Through practical sessions, exposure to real coaching environments and video analysis students will develop the practical skills needed to conduct coaching sessions in community-based sports clubs and organisations and they will be prepared for entry-level roles like assistant coach.

Please note: this subject is offered as an acceleration, and it is an alternative way to achieve a VCE Units 1 and 2 sequence. It will provide students with an opportunity to prepare for Certificate III in Sport, Aquatics and Recreation in Year 11 and Year 12.

Assessment

Assessment in this course is designed to reflect real-world coaching scenarios and industry expectations. Students will be assessed through a mix of practical demonstrations, role-plays, group activities, written tasks, and project-based assignments. These assessments may involve planning and delivering foundation-level coaching sessions, responding to simulated emergency situations, applying first aid and CPR, and demonstrating safe work practices. Students will also be required to reflect on their performance and identify areas for continuous improvement, particularly in officiating and communication. Assessments are competency-based and aligned with the requirements of each unit, ensuring students are well prepared for roles in community sport settings.
