County Young Coach Academy Starts Again

This year’s County Young Coach Academy was launched on 15th October 2015 at Anglia Ruskin University. This year we have 14 amazing young coaches taking part in the programme.

These young people are the coaching workforce of the future our aim is to provide them with the skills to become the best coaches they can and this year our new partnership with ARU means that each young coach has a mentor to help them achieve their goals.

It has been a packed programme from the start for these young coaches with their initial welcome meeting being followed by a two days during half term where they learnt the importance of a warm up and cool down with Richard and Claire from Fit Again Sports Therapy followed by FUNdamentals of movement workshop where they learnt the skills of Agility, Balance and Co-ordination and the importance of these skills in all sports. We finished off by having some time with their mentor to discuss their goals.

Their next workshop is a practical coaching workshop which will cover the importance of developing a session plan, demonstrating how to plan a coaching session and identifying opportunities for observation and feedback.

We will have more workshops booked for the New Year and are looking forward to continuing to work with these young coaches and see them grow in to high quality young coaches.
