This year the East Midlands Local Coach Development Programme has gone big!  Instead of county-based evening workshops, resources have been pooled to enable the organisation of Regional Coach Development Days based at the Loughborough University High Performance Centre.  Please do not think this means this is a programme for ‘elite’ coaches.  The whole purpose of these days is to engage, develop and inspire local club coaches. The facilities and deliverers will be of the highest calibre, so take advantage of this fantastic opportunity!

The Regional Coach Development Days will consist of a ‘Hot Topic’ in the morning followed by lunch (provided), and then you will split into event groups as outlined below – you choose what event group you want to be part of.

Who can attend?
Local Coach Development Programme coaches, Network nominated coaches or any other coach who has at least ‘UKA Level 2’ or the new ‘Athletics Coach Award’. Each coach is encouraged to bring one athlete with them to enable each event group to have enough athletes for effective demonstrations and coach techniques/points. All days are completely free, no charge. Do not hesitate to get involved!
