BANES Sustainable Coaching Programme

The Sustainable Coaching Programme will provide support and mentoring for volunteers aged 16+ with an interest in sports and coaching with the aim of enabling them to become qualified coaches.

It is a new programme, using the power and inspiration of London 2012 to encourage young people to take the next step towards qualifying as coaches. This will help to create a skilled work force able to deliver community-focused programmes that offer the opportunity to improve sporting ability and promote personal excellence.

It is hoped the 2012 Games will inspire young people and adults of all abilities to take part regularly in recreational sporting activities and this programme will increase the pool of coaches in the Bath and West of England area.

Candidates embarking on the programme will benefit from a tailored approach which will include generic coach development courses, mentor support and sessions working with disabled children.
