This refers to the actual coaching of athletes. It can be done at the recreational level or competitive level. This may take place on a regular basis (weekly, fortnightly, etc.), or in specific situations such as centralised training, clinics, etc.
Coaching practice should provide opportunities for coaches to improve their coaching methods and skills. It could also include both local and overseas understudy or attachments under senior coaches and mentoring of junior coaches.
