CoachAFL Update – Accreditation for 2019

By Nick Armistead · November 22, 2018
CoachAFL Update – Accreditation for 2019

The below email details information regarding CoachAFL for 2019. Included in this are details for coaches who will be re-accrediting or have existing accreditation, brand new coaches who are accrediting and how registering as a coach will work for season 2019 and beyond.

New Coaches:

New coaches are able to accredit from October 1, 2018. All new coaches are required to:

  1. Complete the Coaching Profile,
  2. Pay the CoachAFL Membership Fee of $49.50
  3. Agree to the Coaches’ Code of Conduct
  4. Complete the online Foundation Course relevant to the playing age group of their team, including the concussion module

This process remains the same as it was for 2018.

Re-Accrediting Coaches With an Accreditation Expiring at the end of 2018:

All re-accrediting coaches are able to re-accredit starting January 2019. For those coaches with an accreditation expiring at the end of 2018 they are required to:

  1. Complete the Coaching Profile
  2. Pay the annual CoachAFL Membership Fee of $49.50,
  3. Agree to the Coaches’ Code of Conduct*
  4. Complete an online module on Respect & Responsibility

This process mirrors what was done for 2018, except the concussion module has now been replaced by the ‘Expect Respect’ – Respect & Responsibility online course. Any coach that does not have the necessary points to re-accredit will do the Foundation Course (these coaches are edge cases, and will have not previously completed the Foundation course as they were existing coaches under the 4-year model) .

Existing Coaches With an Accreditation Expiring in Either 2019/20/21:

All existing coaches are able to update their CoachAFL accounts in January 2019. For those coaches with an accreditation expiring in 2019/20/21 they will be required to:

  1. Complete the Coaching Profile
  2. Agree to the Coaches’ Code of Conduct*
  3. Complete an online module on Respect & Responsibility

*Coaches will be required to agree to the Coaches’ Code of Conduct again next year as there are some changes made to this from the National Coaching Accreditation Policy (attached).

Registering as a Coach to a Club in 2019:

“ALL coaches will register to their community club/s via CoachAFL and this will replace the previous duplicated process of registering through SportsTG. This is now in place and it is vital that ALL coaches register via CoachAFL annually to ensure they are accredited and able to be picked to a Team Sheet in 2019. A quick video has been attached to describe how a coach registers.”

If you have any questions please contact VAFA Club Development and Sustainability Manager, Brian Goodman, at [email protected]. The Coaching Support Team will also be in place again next year to provide customer service and support through our Contact Us page.
