ABSTRACT

This study assessed the competence of Sepak Takraw coaches among the schools in the 6th District of SDO Pangasinan II. It employed a descriptive method of research with a survey questionnaire. Specifically, it identified the level of competence of the coaches along philosophy and ethics, safety and injury prevention, physical conditioning, growth and development, teaching and communications, skills and tactics, organization and administration, and evaluation. Significant relationships and differences were identified. Findings show that the respondent coaches were predominantly females, 36-45 years old: Master’s degree holders, Teacher III, 6-10 years in service, had 1-3 training related to Sepak Takraw or sports, and members of the national/regional/division association of Sepak Takraw coaches.
