The role of the Coach/administrator/official has become increasingly important in today’s sporting society. Burleigh Community College has formed a partnership with leading sport alliances including Loughborough University, Loughborough College and Charnwood Borough Council to deliver the Coachsteps programme. The aim of the scheme is not to just support the individual through their coaching qualifications, but to integrate local sports clubs, schools and sport related groups to Widen the Leicestershire Coach Education Programme.
Coachsteps
The programme is designed for all ages to access and gain National governing Body Coaching Awards. Ultimately leading to the enhancement in greater voluntary coach participation, in local clubs and organisations throughout Charnwood and Leicestershire.
