As the subject line suggests NSW Touch Football are adjusting the accreditation requirements for Coaches for the up and coming 2017 Vawdon Cup for Coaches involved in t he Premier League/Open A Divisions in Men’s, Women’s & Mixed categories.

This accreditation will be compulsory for the 2017 Vawdon Cup and State Cup and will be advertised in the forthcoming NSWTA General Conditions of Entry.

The rationale in this decision to increase the accreditation requirement for NSWTA events is that we see the ongoing education of our high end coaches as essential for the betterment of the sport in our state. This obviously has great benefit at not only the Affiliate level but also the Regional and State too. We believe this update in accreditation will arm you with the best tools to take your coaching to the next level as well improve your knowledge on current trends.

All Talent accredited Coaches will need to complete the Elite Coaching Course.
