About
The AYC Youth Athletic Development Practitioner Course is an advanced professional development programme designed for qualified coaches, teachers and practitioners who want to deepen their understanding and application of the Athletic Youth Club (AYC) Method within youth sport, education and athletic development environments. Building upon the AYC Youth Athletic Development Foundations Course, this programme focuses on translating theory into practice. Learners will develop a deeper understanding of how to apply physical literacy, long-term athlete development, movement competency and athlete-first principles to create engaging, effective and developmentally appropriate environments for young people aged 6-16. The course is designed to enhance existing coaching and teaching practice through practical frameworks, real-world examples and evidence-informed strategies that can be applied immediately within schools, sports clubs, community programmes and athletic development settings.
