Online Learning & Assessment

Coaching with Balls is an online learning and assessment tool which enables learners to complete the generic modules of coaching qualifications in the comfort of their own environment.  At Coaching with Balls we recognise that coaches always need to gain more opportunities to develop their players and the gap between coach education courses can sometimes be too long.  

This flexible approach means you can complete the qualifications at your own pace, in your own environment, saving money at the same time.  The website is accessible and has been developed to suit all learning styles to ensure a positive learning experience.

Coaching with Balls also has a library of coaching resources available for purchase. Videos, Animations and session plan ready explanations are available in the following sports:

• Netball
• Basketball
• Handball
• Multi-Skills - Agility
• Multi-Skills - Balance
• Multi-Skills - Coordination
• Games for Understanding

Videos

This has allowed the Principles courses to be a 1 day assessment rather than a 5 day tutored course, saving time and money through a flexible approach.
