The accreditation is gained by attendance.

A Foundation Coaching Course will be held in Forbes on June 22.

This is the only Foundation Coaching Course to be held in the region this year.

All Forbes representative coaches and assistant coaches must hold a Foundation accreditation.

All Saturday competition coaches ‘must’ attend the course on June 22.

Cost of the course is $90, with the Forbes Netball Association paying half the costs $45 per coach.

The standard of coaching will be greatly improved when coaches attend courses, which in turn, improve the standard of play.

This courser replaces the OTC, and anyone who has attended an OTC will now need to upgrade to Foundation.

It is also in the best interest of all local coaches to have a qualification when coaching locals.

The whole course will be conducted on the day and coaches will not need to complete the on-line module before the 22nd.

Two coaching books will be included in the costs.

A total of 12 participants must be attending before the course can run.

Numbers must be in a week before the course.
