Delivering sport and other structured physical activities

Many people become community coaches and deliver for the Active After-school Communities (AASC) program, including teachers, senior secondary or tertiary students, parents, sports club members, activity providers etc.

Only individuals may be registered with the AASC program, as the terms and conditions require individual responsibility and accountability. However, where individuals are representing an organisation, that organisation must be recognised by the AASC program. Organisations interested in gaining recognition should complete the Recognition of Organisation Application form.

Where an individual applicant indicates in their application for probationary registration that they are representing an organisation, they must:

• Have their application counter signed by the organisation
• Attach a copy of the organisation’s Recognition of Organisation Application (unless already completed and submitted).

If you, or your organisation, is interested in delivering sport and other structured physical activities for the AASC program you must satisfactorily meet registration requirements.

Requirements are:

• completion of the AASC Community Coach Training Program (See below);
• submission of a Probationary registration form (See below); and
• satisfactory completion of a National criminal history police check/working with children check (See below)

If successfully registered, all community coaches are subject to a probationary period of six months. During the six month probationary period all community coaches will be required to undertake, and satisfactorily complete, a practical assessment to gain full registration.

Full registration lasts for a period of two years.  Prior to registration expiring, regional coordinators will contact community coaches to determine if they would like to renew their registration for another two years and continue as a community coach in the AASC program.
