PCA NCAS Coach Re-Registration Application

PCA NCAS Coach Re-Registration Application
What is Coach Re-registration?

Accreditation re-registration is a policy that requires Pony Club Australia NCAS Coaches to undertake a prescribed amount of continued education. All NCAS coaches registered with the Australian Sports Commission are required to undertake a prescribed amount of continued education. So it is with the Pony Club Australia NCAS coaches that re-registration is to demonstrate continuing participation and development of the coach. Re-registration is required to retain any rights as a PCA NCAS coach.
Why should PCA NCAS Coaches Re-register?

Re-registration is part of the continuing education of coaches. Its purpose is:
- to extend the knowledge and skills of coaches
- to provide an avenue for post education servicing
- to ensure that coaches are up to date with the latest techniques, coaching methods, safety issues and injury prevention information.
How Much Updating is Required?

**ALL NCAS COACHES MUST ATTEND A PONY CLUB COACHING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE EVERY 2 YEARS**

1. Re-registration is to be completed within the 4 years of accreditation
2. Each level of accreditation has its own requirements. The re-registration requirements progressively increase from Preliminary to Level 1

Level – PRELIMINARY

6 Points per 2 years

Level – ONE

What happens if a coach does not re-register?
