Leading Athletics Course

scottishathletics are pleased to announce that from May 1 there will be a NEW ‘Leading Athletics’ course for club helpers.

The course will take three hours and can be delivered in the club on a club night. The target audience for the course is parents who are not sure if coaching is for them, but would like to assist at the club on certain evenings, as well as junior athletes who have an interest in taking the first step into coaching.

The ‘Leading Athletics’ course is open to persons over the age of 14 years and will allow clubs to train up to 20 volunteers at the one time.

Focus of the three-hour workshop is to give volunteers the basic tools to deliver parts of sessions under direct supervision of a fully qualified coach. Task cards and a detailed athletics programme will be supplied to all candidates on-course, this will allow clubs to deploy the new volunteers immediately after the course.

Any member/parent who is interested in the workshop or wishes further information please complete the attached form or email our Club Together Officer Robert Hawkins at kaaccto1@btinternet.com.
