Coaching Multi-Skills Project

Posted on

Nottinghamshire County Council are running a Multiskills Project for 2013 for coaches who wish to develop their knowledge and skills.

In this project, they can access two very beneficial workshops;

February 25th 6-9pm – Games and Ideas Workshop
March 4th 6-9pm – Fundamentals of Movement
(Venue – Joseph Whitaker Sports College, Rainworth)

Coaches will also receive some multiskills kit after the completed training that can be utilised to enhance their coaching sessions that are delivered for the future.

Any coaches interested must be a minimum of level 1 qualified in their chosen sport and can attend both of the above dates.

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.
