Coaching Accreditation & Pathway

Netball Singapore Coaching Accreditation and Pathway

Netball Singaporeโ€™s Coach Education Framework supports coaches at all stages – from first-time coaches to school, developmental, and international levels.

Aligned with Sport Singaporeโ€™s SG-Coach Excellence Programme since 2016, our accredited pathway meets national standards and is recognised by Sport Singapore. Delivered under licence from the Netball Australia Coaching Accreditation Framework, it integrates SG-Coach theory with technical training into a fully integrated coaching accreditation programme.

Coaches may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by providing evidence of demonstrated competency.

The coaching pathway includes four progressive levels: Foundation, Level 1 (Fully Integrated), Level 2, and Level 3.
