Coaching
Please contact the committee if you are interested in attending a coaching course. The club will pay for the course - part on completion of the course and the rest after a number of training sessions.
Which Coaching Course in right for you? See England Athletics Poster
We desperately need more coaches on Thursday Evenings at our Young Athletes Session.
List of Courses in South - August 2018
Candidates must complete the attached application form and send to the address below, along with a passport quality photograph and payment. Candidates must also complete a UKA DBS (previously CRB) in order to receive their leader/ coach licence. If one of these steps are missed, then they will not receive a licence. If candidates have previously attended a course and sent in a suitable photograph, then there is no need to send in another.
IMPORTANT- CHANGES TO DBS PROCEDURE
Previously DBS issued a disclosure certificate to both the applicant and UKA Welfare but on the 17th June, DBS stopped issuing a copy to Welfare so now coaches must send their original copy back to Welfare in order to receive a coaches/leaders licence. If any of your coaches/leaders applied for a DBS around that time or since then, please ask them to send the certificate to Welfare urgently. I have attached a letter from Welfare which contains more information about these changes.
*COACH DIARIES*
If you know a coach who is coming up to the 2 year deadline on their Coach Level course and has not submitted their diary yet, please encourage them to get in touch as they need to submit it before they lose the chance to complete the course! We have Diary Assessors who are willing to assist coaches if they have come to a halt or are struggling, so please encourage them to contact me.
If you have any questions about licensing, DBS (previously CRB), course numbers, changing club contact details or any other general questions about the courses then please contact membership services on 0121 347 6543 or enquiries@englandathletics.org .
