Sports Education Courses
Are you interested in becoming a sports coach or improving your coaching skills? Or would you like to volunteer for your local sports club? If so, there are numerous courses organised across Derbyshire and surrounding counties which may be of interest to you.
We are currently asking sports clubs and coaches to inform us of courses they would like to see run in the district. A calendar of courses will then be complied and made available from June 2008. Examples of courses that we can run include Sports Coach UK "Safeguarding and Protecting Children", Running Sport "A Club for All" and Emergency First Aid, amongst others. We want to make sure courses we run serve the needs of people and clubs in the district so please email sportsdevelopment@south-derbys.gov.uk with your course requests.
Our county partner, Derbyshire Sport advertises all of our upcoming courses and courses elsewhere in the county. Listed below are some details of sport specific courses being run across the county.
Derbyshire Sport also runs a Coach Bursary fund which you may be able to access to help support the costs of your course.
