Sport England and Sports Coach UK have rolled out a national program to help coordinate and improve coaching across England. In the Humber this means Sports Coach UK and Sport England are working with the Humber Sports Partnership and a range of partners through to 2012 to channel resources and opportunities to improve support to coaches at all levels by registering with Coach web you will be able to help shape that work.
Research has shown that across the Humber we have some significant skills gaps and shortages in relation to the provision of sports coaches and therefore the development of coaching has been identified as a key priority within the Humber sports partnership
“Sports Coaching is central to developing, sustaining and increasing participation in sport. It drives better performances and increased success as well as supporting key social and economic objectives throughout the UK. At all levels of society, coaches guide improvement in technical, tactical, physical, mental and lifestyle skills, contributing to personal and social development. High quality coaching enhances health and well-being, promotes fair play and builds social cohesion and self-esteem. Throughout the UK, great coaches help develop leadership and teamwork, transform organisations, change individual behaviour and improve quality of lives. (Sports Coach UK, Annual Report 2007-08)”
