Nw Coaching Masterclasses
The education and development of sports coaches will be the focus throughout the North West during February 2012. The North West Coaching Weeks (6th - 29th February) will play host to a range of workshops, courses and master classes, all designed to provide sports coaches with up to date knowledge and skills.
The initiative originated from the North West Coaching Network and is funded by Sport Northern Ireland's Awards for Sport programme. The North West Coaching Network is made up from local authority sports development teams, local sports partnerships and regionally based governing bodies of sport. These partners aim to raise the standard of coaching within their own areas/ sports and collaboratively across the region.
The educational sessions span across a number of themes and topics related to coaching. There are many high quality speakers and facilitators, who will provide practical and informative coach education programmes. Michael Cooke, Coaching and Club Development Consultant for the North West is extremely pleased with the programme. He said, "The North West Coaching Network has always strived to ensure excellent opportunities are available for coaches across the region. The partners within the Network have been working towards raising the profile of coaching and hopefully the NW Coaching Weeks will help to achieve this."
Conor McCrory, Sports Development & Recreation Officer for Omagh District Council highlighted the anticipated level of demand for places, saying: "This is a great opportunity for local coaches and sports leaders to avail of quality master classes with top class International/National coaches and courses within the Omagh district, and I would encourage clubs, coaches, teachers and leaders book their places before the closing dates to avoid disappointment".
