Coach Development

Coaching during the summer holidays Coaches are the key drivers behind sport and physical activity within the borough, and it is important that we continue developing and increasing the number of coaches to ensure more people play sport and reach their full potential.

To ensure the development of our coaches we work with work Nottinghamshire County Council and the National Governing Bodies of sport to ensure that sport specific and generic courses are run at a local level and cost effective for our residents.

There are a variety of courses run locally throughout the year including;

National Governing Body of sports courses ( I.e. FA Level 1, Basketball Level 2)
Sports Coach UK courses
First Aid Courses
Disability sport courses
