Coaching Information
Midlands U13 Road Relays Bronze Medalists (2006)
UK Athletics runs courses for all levels of coaching. See the www.ukathletics.net site for further details and application forms - be warned, you may have to rummage around a bit to find the information, it is often out of date, and courses are frequently over-subscribed, so book early if possible. .
New coaches will normally complete the courses in order (Level 1 first). Level 1 is a 1 day general course. Level 2 is a 3 day course (2 general days plus 1 event specific) plus some practical work. However, there are two special 1-day courses that can be taken without having done the Level 1 course (but, if you do the Level 2 course, they can count as your event specific day):
The courses are quite expensive, but Westbury Harriers and Avon Athletics Association greatly value your coaching contribution, and will reimburse much of the cost. Contact Neil Miller for full details
Sports Coach UK (formerly the National Coaching Foundation) runs courses that are of benefit to all sports, not just runnning/athletics. See the www.sportscoachuk.org site for further details and contacts. These courses are generally just 3 hours in the evening, and, although they don't directly lead to an athletics qualification, they can be highly recommended.
