The Volleyball Australian Level 2 course is designed to provide volleyball enthusiasts with a deeper understanding of volleyball coaching principles and practice. The program is delivered face-to-face and generally conducted over one full day or two half days/evenings.
While volleyballers who wish to expand their knowledge of the game from a coaching perspective are welcome to attend, those who seek to gain level two Volleyball Australia coach accreditation will need to complete pre and post course activities.
Prior to attending the course, Level 2 candidate coaches are to:

Post course, each candidate coach needs to get on court and coach and in the twelve months following the course, submit themselves for assessment with one coaching session and one match being assessed by a coach of higher accreditation. A three part proforma which covers the required twenty hours of coaching, one match assessment and one training assessment administers this aspect of the candidate’s activity.
Following Volleyball Queensland receipt and sign off of candidate coach submissions, Volleyball Australia will provide your coach accreditation certification.
