Coach Accreditation

2026 Coach Accreditation

All coaches will register to their community club/s via Coach Learning Platform. Coaches MUST select the club/team (in the correct league) they are coaching in their Coaching Profile to be linked to their community club. Coaches will only show as registered accredited and available for team selection in PlayHQ when their coaching role has been selected and their accreditation modules are completed.

Just to reiterate, the new structure includes five different accreditation levels: Registered, Registered Accredited, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
