Get Active, Get Coaching
On 1st April 2009 Wigan Sports Development
launches the 2009/10 Coach Education programme. This is the 9th year
that the programme has run thanks to excellent support from the sporting
community of the borough.
This year the programme will consist of over 50 courses covering a range
of sports and activities from traditional sports such as rugby and
football to more modern sports such as dodgeball. The programme will
also include a wealth of generic courses such as Safeguarding and Child
Protection, and First Aid. All courses and booking information can be
found on the Wigan Borough Sports Council Website
www.wbsc.org.uk.
In the Summer of 2007 the Wigan Sports & Physical Activity Alliance
allocated £20,000 to Wigan Sports Development’s Coach Development
Project. In the 18 months since then, 217 local coaches and volunteers
have applied to the project with 151 applicants receiving either all or
part of the total cost of the requested course. The project proved much
more popular than expected and has been of great benefit to the sporting
community of Wigan with the increasing cost of Coach Education courses.
Wigan Sports Development are now making every effort to access other
funding streams to replicate the project in the near future.
Anyone wishing to get involved in sports coaching should contact Rob
Burrows Coach Development Officer on 01942 488495 or e-mail
