School Sport Coaching Programme
The School Sport Coaching programme is one of 10 strands which make up the new PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP). Its aim is to increase the number of coaching hours delivered through school sport by 675,000 hours per year. This will be achieved through creating a step change in the recruitment, training and deployment of sports coaches working in school sport.
It is envisaged that the programme will:
- Create a step change in the quantity and quality of coaching offered to young people.
- Provide coaching within schools and therefore connect competition, leadership and volunteering and club links.
- Provide, enhance and strengthen pathways for young people.
- Ensure coaches are deployed effectively, and developed and valued by trained ‘coach managers’.
- Maximise resources through the creation of a culture of co-coaching and coach mentoring.
- Transform the coaching of children through the promotion of fundamental movement skills and fundamental sport skills by a multi-sport and multi-skill approach.
