2025 Phoenix Coach Development Program
In 2025 Volleyball NSW will be offering coaches from within the NSW Phoenix programs the opportunity to be part of the Phoenix Coach Development Program. This program will be delivered in collaboration with NSWIS Coach Advisor Brad McGee and will look to upskill coaches in modern coaching practices, improve understanding of reflective questioning techniques and align coaches with the Phoenix program principles and playing style.
A focus on facilitated peer-to-peer feedback and guided reflection discussions will be central to the learning process within this program. Coaches will work in small groups and have frequent reflective conversations and learn effective ways to use GRIP and GROW conversation models as well as improve their understanding of SBI (situation, behaviour, impact) and SDT (self-determination theory) to support both coaching and communication development.
Coaches requiring formal assessment to complete coaching accreditation will have these complete through Phoenix training sessions and practice matches.
Sessions will primarily be based around the youth Phoenix indoor program and coaches will be required to engage in pre/post session meetings as well as some additional coach development sessions both face to face and online.
