Ministry of Sports introduces the Coaches Accreditation Program to make sure that qualified personnel in sports science do sports training in Sri Lanka in the future. Training people in the field of exercise and sports is a science and an art as well. Application of a scientific basis to sports training facilitates to achieve the maximum benefit out of it with no physical and mental damage to the trainees. Coaches should take extreme care in their duty since they are the group of professionals who deal with the human beings in their work. If they make a mistake due to insufficient knowledge or any other reason it may end up in a permanent damage to the trainee under him. Standardization of the Coaches’ knowledge and capacity based on their qualifications and experience is important for getting the required service through a qualified coach. The standardization of the knowledge and capacity of a professional by an independent body is seen in many professions like medicine, engineering and accountancy etc. in Sri Lanka. Without the authorization of the same, nobody can practice in that discipline in the country. This type of a mechanism facilitates the general public to identify the right person for the right work. This provides a guarantee in getting the service of a professional and prevents unqualified people working in the field. Unavailability of this type of a mechanism in the field of sports has created many problems in the past. As such, the introduction of the Coaches’ Accreditation Program will fulfill a long-felt need of the country providing recognition for the profession of coach.
