Become a coach Be part of the legacy
Behind every great sports person, competitor and community club, there is a network of people who make things happen, get results and help make your community a better place to live.
Coaching in sport in an incredibly rewarding way to spend time. The community sport sector relies heavily on volunteer coaches to keep clubs going, and these volunteer coaches play a vital role in player development whether it be at a Saturday morning warm up session with kids who just love to be there to see their mates, or spotting talent in a youngster who has the potential to go on to become a household name.
The first step is to find out more about your sport and what a coach is required to do in your sport. This information is easy to find all you need to do is click onto the National Governing Body (NGB) website for your sport. The NGB will have vast amounts of information on coaching in their particular sport.
Secondly, try your Local Authority. Each local authority within Greater Manchester has information on community clubs and places within the community in which you can start to gain your coaching experience.
Finally, create your own coaching profile on our ‘one stop shop’ coaching website, Coachweb. This will give you up to date information on coaching courses, job opportunities, events , newsletters and case studies.
