Please find attached a short and simple form that any interested coaches will need to fill in and return to Martin Cook (mcook@Mansfield.gov.uk) or Pete Forster (pete.forster@nottscc.gov.uk) by Friday 18 January 2013. There is a short section for a referee (e.g. fellow club coach, club committee rep etc) to fill in with some supporting information regarding the coach, their development needs and why they/the club would benefit greatly from being part of the multiskills training project.
This is a great opportunity for any developing coach to enhance their knowledge, skills and training.
