I am interested in getting involved in coaching - where do I start?
That great - more coaches are needed to support people of all ages to participate. If you are already involved in sport either yourself or through your children, a good place to start is by talking to coaches and the club or activity session. They should be able to get involved in helping on sessions and point you in the rigth direction to getting qualified.
Whether you are already involded in sport or not, you'll find lots of information to get you started in our our Become a Coach pages.
