WA COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE – MORAWA

    FOOTBALL PROGRAM  

    

This program is about more than promoting participation in all aspects of football at the WA College of Agriculture – Morawa.  The aim of this program is to develop the values of cooperation, respect, tolerance and commitment within the framework of volunteering and giving back to our rural communities.

Over the past 2 – 3 years more than 50% of the students at the College have played football for the local football club and with this in mind, we see a need within the College for a sports specific program.

The students will study aspects of football such as coaching, umpiring, sports trainer, diets, administration etc so they get a full understanding of the game.  A strong focus of the program will be to develop literacy and numerous skills in those students that require assistance using the football program as the motivation and focus.

Perth Football Club has given this program their full support and has so far sponsored us by supplying all students who enrol in the course an embroidered shirt.  Through the development of a uniform “Standard of Dress” we are setting out to develop pride in an identity for the students. PFC have also indicated a keen interest to support students through the Work Experience program and to give them opportunities to have access to change rooms and coaches boxes for senior games including the Eagles and Dockers games.

The Western Australian Football Development Trust through Luke Rayner along with the North Midlands Football League and the Morawa Football Club have also indicated their full support to this program.

In the first year of the program, students at the WA College of Agriculture – Morawa will obtain Level I Auskick Coaches accreditation and have six hours of umpiring tuition.  Depending on costs, they may also obtain Level I Sports Trainers Certificate.

Auskick coaches involved in this program will also have the opportunity to attend the local primary schools on Friday afternoons to conduct sessions for all students and these sessions will be planned with the help of the Western Australian Football Development Trust.  It is envisaged that the following schools will be involved;

Three Springs PS     Mingenew PS     Morawa DHS     Perenjori PS     Carnamah DHS     North Hampton DHS     and    Coorow PS.

Preliminary discussion with some of these schools has shown a lot of interest for the program.

Qualifications associated with this program are:

ü      Level I Auskick                       

ü      Umpires Induction

ü      Level I Sports Trainer 

Lesson programming may vary depending on availability of specialised personnel and resources and will be developed on a term-by-term basis.

All students are required to commit to both years of the program.
