Female - Coach

The women’s game is growing, but there’s still work to be done in the coaching community. And it all starts with empowering strong role models in both females and males coaching females. So we’re committed to helping women develop and lead the next generation of footy players. 

Coach Your Way – Foundation Courses (in Person)

The Coach Your Way courses will focus on women new to coaching, to provide them with the skills needed to give them confidence to go out and coach their own teams. There are six key pillars of coaching that the course covers including building your own philosophy and shaping the environment for your players. With a focus on practical application and a community network to allow coaches to work together and best prepare them and their players for game day.
