Coaching Clinic for Kids with Autism

19 Nov 2018 by Rachael Bouley

We are excited to be working with Scope Australia and the Department of Sport and Recreation Victoria to present a free coaching clinic for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This event, set for Wednesday, November 28th, will give coaches of all levels the information, knowledge and resources necessary to help children with autism thrive on and off the field. We invite any current or aspiring junior coaches to attend this clinic and learn more about the best way to approach coaching these wonderful athletes who want to play but may need some extra support.

The clinic will be held at Melbourne Baseball Club from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. After an introduction from BV, Scope staff will lead a session on Autism & Sport, followed by NCAS Coordinator Greg Tinkler who will explain how these ideas can be applied to coaching baseball. The clinic will finish up with a fantastic interactive session that will show first-hand how to modify games for those affected by ASD. We hope many of our dedicated coaches take advantage of this opportunity to learn and grow as leaders in the baseball community and our inclusion efforts.

We ask that those interested please RSVP so that we have an estimated head count and can plan properly for the night: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VT5355J
