Sports Law (Amendment – Regulation of Sports Coaching) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הספורט (תיקון - הסדרת העיסוק באימון ספורט)

TL;DRA proposal to regulate sports coaching by requiring a certification, setting different certification levels, and establishing conditions for approving training institutions.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal changes the definitions of sport and types of athletes in the Sports Law, and states that engaging in sports coaching in types of activity that the minister will determine will require a certification. The certificate will be granted at different levels (instructor, coach, senior coach, expert) under conditions the minister will set, including examinations, training and professional courses. The proposal sets rules for recognizing certificates from abroad, and regulates the operating conditions of recognized training institutions and the keeping of a register of certificate holders by the commissioner.
