However, being able to play the sport does not make one a coach of the sport. It is therefore of vital importance to have an effective measure of the level of expertise possessed by coaches in order to raise the standard of the sport. This study partitions coaches into different groups on the basis of such demographic variables as sex, age, level of education, and years of work, and each group is further investigated on the level of expertise by means of questionnaires. The results are analyzed by statistics software SPSS 12.0 and categorized. It is found that different values of the demographic variables are correlated to different levels of expertise in a significant way. Based on our findings, suggestions for improvements are made, and it is hoped that this study on the coach’s levels of expertise will help advance the sport.
