An ideal opportunity for parents and older athletes (minimum age 14) to get involed in coaching at an introductory level.

This course allows you to work alongside a coach who is at least level 2 and is designed for people who would lead groups of children (aged 8-13) taking part in athletics type activity.  It introduces various athletics type activities that are appropriate as an introduction to the full athletics events for children.  It helps leaders to make sure that sessions they are taking are fun, create maximum involvement and are safe for all concerned.  The organisational and planning elements of running such group sessions are covered.  It covers topics such as the responsibility of the coach when running sessions with growing children.

The course will help coaches to:
Deliver safe, enjoyable and well organised sessions that maximise involvement
Plan, deliver and evaluate a series of sessions appropriate to the age/stage of the children
Develop fundamental movement skills appropriate to the age/stage of the children
Experience a range of athletic activities for children
Identify your responsibilities when working with children
The course qualifies and ensures you to lead a group of children (aged 8-13) in athletics type activities using soft play equipment.
