2026/27 Coach Apprentice

The Coach Apprentice Program is the entry point to the Little Athletics coaching pathway and is ideal for parents, volunteers, and emerging coaches who wish to support athletes at Centre level.

Delivered as a face-to-face practical session, the program focuses on introducing basic athletic skills, safe and effective session delivery, and age-appropriate activities for children. The Coach Apprentice Program replaces the former Introduction to Teaching Little Athletics Skills (ITLAS) practical program.
