Coaching Ireland has developed a 12 hour course with 4 (x 3 hour) modules, specifically to provide candidates with a better understanding of children’s sport and physical activity and best ways to optimise children’s enjoyment, participation and positive outcomes.
Workshop 1: Coaching Children Successfully in Sport – An Introduction for Coaches
Workshop 2: Child-Centred Coaching – Understanding Child Development & Learning and its Impact on How We Coach
Workshop 3: Developing Physical Literacy through Sport 1 – Coaching Children to Move
Workshop 4: Developing Physical Literacy through Sport 2
Feedback from previous participant – “I have being coaching over 20 years at different levels from school to assistant coach to Irish u18 girls. What the course made me do was re-evaluate the way that I approach coaching the younger players. It also made me realise that the coaches that coach children need to be better educated sports wise than coaching seniors.”
We are looking at organising a course during May (Mondays 6.30-9.30pm on May 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th) and the cost is €45 p.p. If you would like to book a place or would like further information please email info@sdcsp.ie
