Coaches must have a basic knowledge of the rules and the ability to lead a team in functional drills while integrating fun games and challenges to assist in skill development. Each group of coaches will be supported by the Youth & Junior Convenor at every league location and be provided with a practice plan each week for the duration of the season.
