The Queensland Govt. - Sport & Recreation ( QS&R ) department provides a web site containing various sports related articles and resources, as well as ( usually free ) clinics, workshops and seminars held throughout the year at various locations. While many topics may be general, such as sports nutrition, strapping techniques, sports psychology, injury recovery, etc. some may be football specific. Some courses are accredited, but where fees are required for accreditation they're usually subsidised by QS&R and usually are considerably cheaper than the same course conducted via another avenue.
