The AFL National Coaching Conference attracts around 500 coaches from across Australia. The 2012 conference program is aimed at giving Australian Football coaches an opportunity to access the most up-to-date coaching methods and practices.
Dates
Sydney will host the 2012 AFL National Coaching Conference from Friday 17th February to Sunday 19th February.
Please note the change of date. In the initial announcement of conference dates it was placed at the traditional time of the conference following Australia Day. In subsequent discussions with AFL NSW/ACT, and potential venues, it was decided that the conference would be better placed to coincide with the first round of the NAB Cup in association with the GWS Giants/Western Bulldogs/Collingwood round robin at Blacktown International Sports Park on Saturday 18 February. There are a number of benefits to this and elements of the conference on Saturday will be built around the event. We apologise for any inconvenience the changes have caused and are aware of the possibility that some coaches may have pre-booked flights to Sydney based on the original dates. If that is the case please call Andrew Hughes on 03 9643 1953 to discuss the situation.
