Coaching Assistant - Athletics Coaching Assistant | England Athletics
This qualification is for those who wish to take their first step into coaching. Once qualified you will be able to coach under supervision from a fully licenced coach for ages 8 yrs+. This would allow you to support any of our scheduled sessions that take place on a Tuesday or Thursday.
Athletics Coach - Athletics Coach Qualification | England Athletics
Once qualified as a Coaching Assistant, the next step up is the Athletics Coach. The Athletics Coach qualification has been designed to support coaching athletes and advocates a multi-event approach in the development of athletes. This course covers elements of athletics including Speed, Endurance, Jumps or Throws.
Leading Athletics - Leading Athletics Course | England Athletics
The Leading Athletics workshop is designed for those looking at an introduction to leading athletic activities for young athletes. Whilst not a formal qualification, by completing this course you will be able to support an Athletics Coach leading element of a training session.
This is open to anyone aged over 14 years and would be great for some of our junior members if they are studying sports, completing a Duke of Edinburgh award, or want to start a career in coaching.
