This unit is a designed to advance students' knowledge and understanding of sports coaching and community development. It will provide students with the opportunity to expand and integrate previously taught concepts from targeted disciplines (physical education, community sport and physical activity, and sports coaching) by employing an interdisciplinary approach to examine the role of sport in addressing wider social issues within communities. Problem-based learning will be used to develop students' theoretical understanding as it applies directly to practical applications in sports coaching and development. -- Course Website
