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

Each activity comes with a video, animation and a pdf  with a clear explanation describing the activity, coaching points and how to progress the activity.  

Videos

The activities have been developed based on coaches' experience and what works!!   Videos have been shot from an angle that allows you to see the activity in action, allowing you to grasp the concept of the drill and giving you the support to implement these into your sessions.

You may be a skilled performer or have a real interest in a sport with knowledge of the basic technical skills or a more complex knowledge of the tactical elements of your sport ....but do you know the key skills of coaching?

Sports Structures in conjunction with Coaching with Balls gives you support throughout your coach education pathway. Most NGBs in the UK have revamped their coach education system in line with the United Kingdom Coaching Certificate and we have used this framework to provide online learning.

The generic content of the Principles of Coaching and Multi-Skills qualifications have been transformed onto online learning allowing learners to complete certain modules via coaching with balls prior to attending assessment days. 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.
