Softball Australia are pleased to announce their Presenters and Assessors Course is now available to complete for those wishing to develop their skills in the coaching and officiating space.

The course has been designed to equip Presenters and Assessors with the skills to deliver quality and effective coaching and officiating programs.

It is intended to help upskill individuals in particular areas of the softball community.

Designed to allow individualised learning and personal development, the course includes quizzes to help individuals decide which areas they are confident in and what areas need further development.

Experienced individuals can go straight to assessment and bypass the course content if they are confident enough to do so. This makes the course inclusive and flexible for individuals at all levels of experience.

Focusing on key ideas from Sport Australia’s “Presenter/ facilitator training deliverer guide and curriculum,” the course includes a variety of reading packages, videos and course learning via multiple platforms to expand general understanding and assist in personal development.
