The structural system transformation in the Republic of Turkey, experiencing the modernization process through a transition from a multinational empire to a national/unitary state, required restructuring in all areas. In line with the necessity of training of experts and entrepreneurs who would ensure this transformation, students from all over the world were sent to abroad and experts from abroad were brought. These methods were used in sports fields and the lack of qualified manpower were tried to be solved through courses until the physical education and sports school was opened. One of them is the first course organized by the Turkish Sports Association in 1938 in the field of coaching. Although the course was designed with the idea of training coach in football, it was transformed into a program to train coaches in all sports due to the needs in other sports. In this article, it is aimed to present the first long-term formal coaching course of our sports history, which was carried out in such a way that the successful participants were appointed as a coach to different provinces as a waged and that it could serve as a model for today's coaching trainings with the content and management dimensions, to the literature. A document review and analysis method, which is a kind of qualitative research approach that provides the review and analysis of many documents, was used in this study.
