AFL Queensland Coach and Volunteer Manager Jack Barry acknowledged the importance of coach education.
“This is a great opportunity to gain a greater knowledge of AFL,” said Barry.
“The game is constantly evolving and we need our new and present coaches to keep up with latest trends.
“It’s important that year-in, year-out you are coming up with fresh messages for your playing list and club”.
“The coaching industry has grown immensely at the elite level and we are to a certain extent a mirror image of that in NEAFL and community football competitions including. QAFL, QFA, QAFA and all AFL Queensland Country Leagues.
“Just as there is a focus on emerging playing talent we are looking to up the ante for talented coaches and provide opportunities for them through our talent programs such as the NEAFL and Senior and Youth football and AFL Academies”.
