63 The ASC continued to reform community coaching and officiating in the sector. New guidelines and resources were released to provide NSO personnel with tools to develop contemporary coaching/officiating frameworks and training programs. This was supported by a series of workshops attended by 30 NSOs to assist in finalising their new frameworks. On the back of research showing a need for guided experiential learning as an integral part of all coach/official training, the ASC collaborated with cricket, football, gymnastics, hockey, netball, rugby league and the Gold Coast City Council (GCCC) on Coach Developer pilots. On a small scale, these pilots proved the concepts, showing improved coach quality, player enjoyment, parental support and pointed to increased coach retention. Cricket and football have already expanded the pilots, while gymnastics and netball have incorporated new techniques into their coaching frameworks. The ASC is assisting hockey, the NRL and the GCCC with future plans. The Community Coaching General Principles online course reached 150,000 enrolments, while the companion Community Officiating General Principles online course was updated, with a launch intended for mid-August 2017. The Sports Governance and Business Capability team continued to work on strategic projects with NSOs to build their business capability. A major project was undertaken with Hockey Australia (HA) to redesign its current National League (Australian Hockey League) to adopt a format and brand which puts the fans first and creates growth opportunities for commercial investors, event organisers and greater exposure for the sport of hockey in Australia. A project team, led by the SGBC team, in partnership with HA, worked together utilising a user-centred design approach combined with quantitative market research and financial modelling to deliver a business model for a new product and approach that is commercially viable and sustainable. The final product will use exciting game modifications, new team brands, fan experiences and targeted marketing to deliver hockey in a new way. The ASC continues to ensure that sport is a safe environment for all those involved, particularly those most vulnerable including children. In late 2016 the ASC worked with the Australian Childhood Foundation to conduct organisational readiness assessments with 43 participating NSOs to establish baseline information about their current child protection policies, procedures, and their operational capacity to protect children from abuse and exploitation. Each participating NSO was provided with a personalised report identifying strengths, challenges and risks for the NSO and recommendations. The data from these individual reports was then collated to inform a sport sector National Benchmarking Report which included a series of recommendations and actions for the strategy’s implementation in 2017–18 and beyond.
