As part of the programme, scottishathletics are hosting a series of Roadshows across the country to give coaches and clubs the opportunity to find out more about the programme and how it can benefit them.

Coaches will also have the opportunity to input into the programme; for example, input to frequency of coach development opportunities, what content they would like to see delivered, etc.

The confirmed dates and venues are now as follows:

4 November – Emirates Arena, Glasgow – 7pm to 8pm

11 November – Caledonia House, South Gyle, Edinburgh – 7pm to 8pm

18 November – Grangemouth Sports Stadium, Falkirk – 6.30pm to 7.30pm

25 November – Inverness College – 7pm to 8pm (This roadshow will be broadcasted via video conference to the Islands)

4 December – Aberdeen Sports Village – 7pm to 8pm (This date has been updated)

These are open to all scottishathletics coaches at all levels and are FREE. It is recommended that coaches familiarise themselves with the new coach development programme elsewhere on our website.
