Learn and Play Online Practical Session

Orienteering Australia is hosting an online practical session for the Learn and Play Orienteering Coach accreditation on Monday 23 February at 8.00pm AEDT.

This session is the practical component of the Learn and Play Coach Accreditation and is designed for those who have already started the accreditation through the Orienteering Learning Centre. Participants are encouraged to complete the theoretical components before this session.

Hosted by Brodie Nankervis, the session focuses on applying learning in real coaching contexts. Participants will work through practical case studies using guided worksheets, with discussion around how to support beginner orienteering participants in a positive and engaging way.

The Learn and Play accreditation equips coaches with the skills and knowledge to introduce newcomers to orienteering, help them develop basic navigation skills, and deliver activities that build confidence. By providing practical tools and a consistent approach, the programme aims to improve the experience of beginners, helping them enjoy orienteering and feel confident continuing in the sport.
