“This specialised course is not held very frequently so I urge interested locals to make the most of this valuable opportunity.”
Sport and Recreation coordinator Gaylene Ryan said the two-day course has been organised in response to an identified need within regional sport, particularly the football codes, for more coach education in player fitness development and management.
“The Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coaching Course will cover how to develop speed, strength and flexibility programs for athletes and teams as well as injury prevention, management and rehabilitation procedures,” Ms Ryan said.
“It is suitable for any sports coach but will be particularly relevant to winter sport coaches, just in time for pre-season training for 2012.
