Coaches in game

This section of the ISCA pages is devoted to information that is of interest to trainers and coaches in all fields of sport for all. On the left you will find the information grouped into headlines that will direct you to the information that you need.

 

Here you can find information on opportunities in the ISCA network for you as a trainer and some interesting information about the importance and value of non-formal education.

The value of Non-Formal Education

What is non-formal Education?

Non-formal education is all the different kinds of education, learning and training that go on outside the formal education institutions like universities and schools. One of the tools or mechanisms for non-formal education can be sport.

Education for, by and through sport

In this context it a distinction between education for, by and through sport can serve to explain exactly what it is that sport can offer. Education for sport develops technical competences. This is normally linked to well-defined disciplines of competitive sport. Education by sport uses physical activity instrumentally to attain certain social goals such as ethnic reconciliation, public health, citizenship or social integration. Education through sport is physical exercise that creates existential learning between human beings. Here, education is a way of empowering people.

 

Many of the activities aimed at trainers are supported by our Youth programme. You might therefore find the Youth pages of interest.
