Event Group Coach Award (£150)

The Event Group Coach award is a programme designed to provide licensed coaches with a greater understanding and awareness of the issues involved in coaching athletes at the event group stage of athlete development (typically 14-18 years old). Coaches who undertake this course will develop their technical knowledge and expertise across the individual events that make up event areas. There are currently four event group areas available; Sprints and Hurdles, Jumps, Throws and Endurance.
