AFL Queensland have developed a strategic pathway for all coaches participating across the state. The AFL Queensland coaching pathway has been divided into four areas that will allow tailored curriculum and coaches with ambition to advance throughout the Coaching Pathway.
Each section will form a pool of coaches that are to be considered for coaching positions through various programs if they meet the minimum requirements.
This will give representative teams and clubs the opportunity to identify best talent available for various roles. Courses and seminars will be specifically designed for coaches who work with grass roots, talent, development and high-performance players.
