A new digital home for sailing instructors, powered by CoachMate.
We're excited to announce the official launch of Australian Sailing Hub, a new digital platform developed in partnership with Australian Sailing and powered by CoachMate.
Designed to support instructors at Discover Sailing Centres across Australia, the free app brings practical skills, ready-made sessions, instructional videos, learning resources and communication tools together in one easy-to-use platform.
It's another exciting step in our mission to make quality sport education more accessible, helping sporting organisations better support the people delivering great experiences at grassroots level.
Putting Practical Support in Every Instructor's Pocket
Great sporting experiences start with confident, well-supported instructors.
Australian Sailing Hub makes it easier for instructors to access the resources they need, when and where they need them.
Through the CoachMate platform, instructors can:
Plan with confidence - Access ready-made sessions and build custom sessions using Australian Sailing's skills library.
Bring skills to life - Explore bite-sized instructional videos and animations that make learning and delivery easier.
Learn and develop - Access best-practice resources covering instruction, safety and effective delivery.
Stay organised - Schedule sessions, manage events and communicate with their teams.
Keep things fresh - Discover new activities, games and ideas to create engaging experiences on the water.
Everything is designed to reduce preparation time, simplify delivery and give instructors more confidence to do what they do best.
Turning Great Content Into Great Experiences
Australian Sailing has invested in developing quality programmes and resources to support sailing participation across the country.
The opportunity is to make those resources even more accessible, practical and valuable to the instructors delivering them.
That's where CoachMate comes in.
By combining Australian Sailing's expertise with CoachMate's purpose-built sports education technology, the Hub transforms existing learning and programme content into an engaging, mobile-first experience.
From fundamental sailing skills through to more advanced on-water challenges, instructors can quickly find the right content, build sessions and deliver positive learning experiences.
Less time searching. More time delivering. Better experiences for everyone.
"We're incredibly proud to partner with Australian Sailing to bring Australian Sailing Hub to life. This is exactly what CoachMate is built for - taking the expertise and resources of national sporting organisations and putting them directly into the hands of the people delivering sport every day.
When we make it easier for instructors to learn, prepare and deliver, we create better experiences for participants and stronger foundations for grassroots sport."
- Michelle Walshe, CEO, CoachMate
Supporting Instructor Development Beyond the Session
Australian Sailing Hub goes beyond session planning.
With a dedicated Learn section, instructors can access practical, bite-sized education that supports their ongoing development.
Whether they're new to instructing, refreshing their knowledge or looking to develop new skills, the Hub makes learning accessible around the realities of delivering sport.
It's about supporting not just what instructors deliver, but how they deliver it.
Building Stronger Grassroots Sailing Experiences
For CoachMate, this partnership reflects our shared belief with Australian Sailing that better-supported instructors create better experiences for participants.
By bringing content, learning, planning and communication together in one place, Australian Sailing is strengthening the support available to its Discover Sailing Centre network.
It's an exciting example of how national sporting organisations can use technology to turn their expertise and investment in education into practical, everyday support at the grassroots level.
And ultimately, help more people build the skills, confidence and love of sport that keeps them coming back.
