South West Coaches Collective is returning to Warrnambool this October

Following the great response to our inaugural event in April, South West Academy of Sport and South West Sport is excited to bring another line-up of nationally recognised coaches and athletes to the South West, sharing elite-level insights with our local coaching community.

This time, we’re switching gears and giving coaches more opportunity to connect directly with our expert panellists through a single 90-minute panel discussion at Reid Oval Social Rooms.

The relaxed, conversational format will focus on real dialogue and practical insights, with our panellists exploring athlete wellbeing and the growing space of female participation in sport.

The discussion will offer valuable insights for coaches across all sports, genders and experience levels.

Best of all, the event is completely FREE and open to coaches of all ages, sports and experience levels across the South West.
