Coaching Prerequisites

Under the Softball Australia coaching requirements, online coaching courses require a number of prerequisites documents.

Additionally, coaches that are reaccrediting or upgrading their accreditation must ensure their prerequisites documents are valid and up to date. Visit the Reaccreditation page for more information.  

The "Softball Batter Up Coaching Induction", ("Fundamental Skills", "Training and Practice", and "Managing Games") courses require the following documents uploaded directly into each course.

Coaching Assignments:

Essential Skills Course

Code of Conduct

 

Each prerequisite is checked prior to the course certificate being sent. If a prerequisite is incorrect or out-of-date documents are uploaded onto the SBU site this will result in an incomplete course and the coach will not be issued with their accreditation. Proof of completion must be uploaded which includes course completion certificate and signed document are expected. If you have completed any of the prerequisites already, you do not have to complete them again, but you must stay up to date and ensure each of the certificates are "current".  You will be asked in the last section of each course to upload the certificates from your pre-requisite courses.  

Make sure you take the time to complete and upload these documents correctly.

If you are having issues uploading documents please contact
