A new academy for sports coaches in Singapore will be
launched next year to enhance and support the development of
professional capabilities and standards in sport coaching.
The academy, CoachSG, will be headed by Troy Engle, the
Singapore Sports Institute's director of coach development.
It will design and deliver a programme of formal and
informal opportunities for coaches to develop their skills in the
areas of technical proficiency and methods of instruction.
Ahead of the official launch in the second quarter of
next year, CoachSG will be conducting monthly engagement sessions
with coaches and other stakeholders from Dec 19 to next April.
Members in the National Registry of Coaches (NROC) will
be given preferential rates and priority enrolment in various
coaching courses and activities organised by CoachSG, the
respective National Sports Associations and other
organisations.
The NROC will also introduce a three-year provisional
membership from Jan 3 to involve more coaches in the academy
programmes.
Coaches who are interested in attending CoachSG's
monthly engagement sessions can sign up by e-mailing [email protected].
