New Coaching & Leadership Courses
New Coaching Structure explained: The new structure has been created to cater for the needs of all clubs and individuals who wish to assist athletes in their preparation. Several roles have been identified and a qualifications crated to support each role. Under the new structure all roles are regarded as being equally valuable to the sport and where appropriate the system is flexible so individuals can choose a pathway that meets the needs of the athletes they are working with as well as their personal aspirations. As well as covering the generic ‘how to coach’ skills, the new awards focuses more on the technical ‘What to coach’ skills required to coach across events. Pre and post course learning will be available on UKA’s uCoach website to support candidates www.uka.org.uk/coaching
What’s on offer?

-
Athletics Leader
