About this programme:
Recruit into Coaching is part of the wider PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) coaching strand. The aim of the programme is to recruit and deploy 10,000 new volunteer coaches by 2011. 5,680 of the coaches will be delivered through the network of Sports Colleges/School Sport Partnerships (school setting) and 4,320 through the network of County Sport Partnerships (community setting). Recruit into Coaching focuses on the 70 most deprived areas of England as identified through the highest ranked local authorities. It is flexible in terms of the sports it includes as it's based very much on local need.
Target audience:
Anyone over the age of 16, identified through their Sports College/School Sport Partnership, who are interested in volunteering and training as a Level 1 Coach.
Issues that this programme tackles:
Provides the opportunity for local people in deprived areas to receive support and training to step into coaching in their local communities. In return they will then assist in delivering additional sporting activities for local young people. In schools the support package includes: access to bursary funding for trainees, coach manager support, access to a free booklet (an introduction to coaching young people) as well as opportunities to shadow existing local level 2 school sport coaches.
How is this programme accessed?
In 70 deprived areas of England through Sports Colleges / School Sport Partnerships and County Sport Partnerships.
