Coaches/Officials
Handball Queensland is dedicated to developing the sport through structured coaching and officiating pathways. These programs provide the skills and knowledge needed to excel, ensuring the sport thrives at all levels.
The Coaching Pathway begins with the Foundation Level, teaching fundamental skills, game rules, and communication strategies. The Intermediate Level focuses on player development and team management, while the Advanced Level prepares experienced coaches for high-performance environments with tactical and leadership training.
The Officiating Pathway starts with the Introductory Officiating Course, covering basic rules and referee mechanics. Progress to Level 1 Referee Accreditation to officiate local competitions, and then to Level 2, focusing on advanced scenarios and national-level games.
Both pathways blend theory and practice to ensure participants are ready for real-world challenges. Handball Queensland also offers workshops, mentoring, and access to the latest resources to support ongoing growth.
Whether you’re a former player or a sports enthusiast, these pathways offer a chance to contribute to handball’s success.
