Level 1 Coach Accreditation

Our next Level One coaching course will be held on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23 at Broadmeadow Basketball Stadium. Friday will run from 6-10pm and Saturday is from 7am-3pm. All attendees will need to be available for both sessions

Cost will be $120 which includes a booklet, accreditation and also lunch on the Saturday. Following the course on Saturday will be the Hunters vs Maitland derby which will be a cracker of a game to hang around for.

A reminder for those wishing to attend that you will need to have completed your Level 0 accrediation. This can be done through the Australian Sports Commission website - https://learning.ausport.gov.au/jportal/Courses/tabid/62/Default.aspx
