Our next coach education weekend takes place on 22 and 23 March at Salle Ossian, Perth.

This weekend will include our new Level 1 assistant coach award. This course is aimed at those aged 16-18 or coaches that are just starting out.

We also plan to have the new Level 2 content available as part of a pilot.

The new courses have online content to complete pre and post course on the sportscotland Brightspace platform, support and assistance will be given as required.

When you sign up for the weekend we will also add you into a group on Basecamp so we can communicate arrangements and share any information about the weekend. It will also give you the opportunity to ask questions and interact with others that are signed up.
We have also received support from sportscotland that will allow us to cost our coach eduaction programme in a more innovative way. If you belong to one or more of the following groups, then coach education could be free for you to complete:

  • Women and girls

  • Under 25

  • Disability

  • Rural community

  • Low SIMD

If you feel you belong to one or more of the above categories then please indicate this on the sign up form (for SIMD we will check your postcode against the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation). You will then have the option to pay a discounted amount of £50 or you can pay £0 if you log 10 hours voluntary coaching within your club and local community, ideally engaging with the highlighted groups above.

If you do not belong to one of the groups above you have the option to pay £150 for the weekend or you can also choose to log 10 hours voluntary coaching ideally with the groups above and pay a discounted rate of £50.
