This descriptive-interpretative study sought to investigate Physical Education undergraduate students’ perceptions about their supervised practicum as sports coaches. We interviewed nine students regularly enrolled in supervised practicum for sports coaches at a Brazilian public university, and data underwent Content Analysis. Results indicated that the students’ main activity was to assist their practicum advisor. The students evaluated positively their knowledge acquisition in curricular practicum situations at the university and the experiences shared with colleagues, while they viewed negatively the lack of courses covering pedagogical practices in sport and not being welcome at certain practicum places. As suggestions for improving the practicum, students indicated the need to offer more areas for it as well as closer relations between the university/advisors and places for practicum/their professionals.
