Coaches
Coaches are vital to our sport. Without the commitment of those who choose to guide and train athletes of all ages, abilities and disciplines, athletics simply would not exist.
The backbone of the coach’s journey is formed by the UKA qualifications that we offer around the country. Courses are available for everyone from complete beginners (such as the Jog Leader or Leading Athletics courses) to the most experienced.
New Coach Qualification Pathway
For those who are already qualified, we offer a wide range of CPD opportunities to help you improve your skills and experience.
You can explore all our coaching qualifications and CPD resources using the menus on the left of this page.

HILL RUNNING - BUSY WEEKEND AHEAD in ITALY and at home.
Good time to wish good luck to six young Scottish hill runners preparing to compete on Saturday in the International Youth Cup.
Selected to represent Scotland are Sunny McGrath, Harry McGill and Cameron Sale as well as Helen Chong, Pippa Carcas and Rosie Davidson.
Also on Saturday, hill runners will head to the Broughton Heights race for the Senior Scottish and East Senior Hill Running Champs.
Age group races (from U11) are entry on the day and the grassy slopes should offer the right introduction to this strand of our sport.
