Coaching development
The Club hosted a level 0 coaching course in December 23. All 13 places were taken by club members, and they were all successful in gaining their first qualification.
Well done to Katie Lowman for passing her exam, the Club’s newest level 1 coach – May 24.
A further two Club Coaches will progressed to their level one coaching qualification this year and two more coaches are looking to start their level 2 towards the end of the year. We wish them all good luck!
