Foundation
Foundation accreditation is the first level of accreditation and can be completed at any stage through the year. It provides accreditation for coaches at a community, school or recreation level. It is recommended that coaches complete the Foundation Coach course relevant to the playing age they coach. E.g., A coach of Local Club team should complete the Senior Coaching Course.

- It is highly recommended that all clubs and leagues appoint coaches who have Completed the Senior Foundation Course as a minimum
