AFL Queensland Coach Mentor Program

AFL Queensland Coach Mentor Program

AFL Queensland is excited to announce the launch of a Coaching Mentor Program in 2026, designed specifically for aspiring female coaches who want to enhance their coaching knowledge, gain insights from senior-level coaches, and develop the skills needed to succeed at higher levels of the game.​

The program will be particularly valuable for those considering future participation in the national ‘She Can Coach’ program.​

Participants will have access to a blend of:​

  • Formal learning – structured workshops and targeted skill development sessions​
  • Informal mentoring – personalised guidance, feedback, and networking opportunities​
  • Practical coaching experiences – hands-on involvement in real senior-level coaching environments​

The program’s aim is to build confidence, expand coaching expertise, and strengthen participants’ understanding of all aspects of coaching within AFL.​

More details – including program structure, eligibility criteria, and application dates –will be released in early 2026.​

More details are to come for other learning and development opportunities for female coaches.
