INFORMATION FOR COACHES

The Sporting Schools Program is a great opportunity for accredited coaches to find new coaching opportunities, build relationships with schools and connect with the local club/ association. Working with TTA, Sporting Schools endorsed coaches will be given opportunities to coach at local schools in their area.

For more information, please see the link to the Sporting Schools COACH FACT SHEET and review the below information on coach requirements and the endorsement process.

  • Be aged 18 years or over

2024 DIGITAL SYSTEMS UPDATE

There is a new Sporting Schools portal for sports and schools.

Officials HQ is the new system for all sport users to view and manage Sporting Schools bookings. From Term 2 2024 onwards, all organisations (including providers, clubs and associations) supporting Sporting Schools need to be registered on Officials HQ to be booked by schools using Sporting Schools funding.

To continue to deliver programs in schools, you need to self-register as a coach with OfficialsHQ. The registration process takes only a few minutes to complete and will notify us (Table Tennis Australia) that you are delivering the program. Please see the step by step guide to help with registration.
