Are there any requirements in terms of qualifications (courses, certificates, etc.)
Are there any guidelines from NNSW?
Can anyone share their experiences with coaches in this age bracket?

Nothing wrong with Dads at this age. The vast majority of coaches at JDL have their child in the team.

This year a coach without the Skills Training Certificate will not be allowed on the touchline without being alongside an appropriately qualified person.

C License is recommended/required for some clubs but isn't essential until NPL Youth.
