Com­menced from Octo­ber 2010

The Board of the Mul­laloo Surf Life Sav­ing Club endorse the fol­low­ing pol­icy for coach­ing of club members:

• All coaches are to be appro­pri­ately accred­ited e.g. Work­ing with Chil­dren Check, Surf Coach accred­i­ta­tion. Where pos­si­ble, the club will assist coaches to gain and enhance their accred­i­ta­tion and skills. Train­ers oper­at­ing under the instruc­tion of a coach will also be sup­ported to enhance their skills and encour­aged to seek accreditation.
• A clear chain of com­mand will be estab­lished for coaches within the club. Coaches will be des­ig­nated respon­si­bil­ity for select­ing com­peti­tors to par­tic­i­pate in train­ing and com­pe­ti­tion. Sign‑off pro­to­cols for pay­ment of incen­tives to coaches will also be established.
• Lead­ers of coach­ing activ­i­ties within the club (such as Direc­tor of Com­pe­ti­tion, Direc­tor of Juniors, Boat Cap­tain, Head Ski Coach, etc) must sub­mit to the Direc­tor of Coach­ing a writ­ten Coach­ing Ser­vice Pro­posal out­lin­ing the coach­ing ser­vice they intend to offer club mem­bers. This pro­posal will be assessed by the Direc­tor of Coach­ing and the Direc­tor of Com­pe­ti­tion or Direc­tor of Juniors to confirm:

-   club’s for­mal endorse­ment of the ser­vice offer;
-   resources the club should apply to the area (e.g. bud­get, coaches, equip­ment, access to club facil­i­ties); and
-   com­mu­ni­ca­tion sup­port to be provided.

• A Coach­ing Ser­vice Pro­posal should be sub­mit­ted to the Direc­tor of Coach­ing before offer­ing the train­ing and when­ever any sub­stan­tial aspect of the train­ing changes.
• The Direc­tor of Coach­ing will decide the form of the Coach­ing Ser­vice Proposal
