As outlined in our recently refreshed strategy, Building a Culture of Success, scottishathletics has a clear commitment to improving equality, diversity and inclusion across the coaching community in Scotland. An essential element to this is the investment and support offered to clubs to assist them in the delivery of targeted projects and the ongoing recruitment, deployment and retention of coaches.
scottishathletics has been successful in our application to sportscotland, securing subsidy investment towards coach members accessing coach level education courses.
As with previous years, subsidy investment is available towards the course cost of either the Athletics Coach or Coach in Running Fitness Award (full course cost at time of emailing – £435). Approval of subsidy will be through an application process and is subject to the subsidy conditions.
Our revised approach aligns with sportscotlands 2023/24 subsidy approach which places a focus on reducing barriers and increasing access to education. Further details on the sportscotland subsidy approach can be found on their website https://sportscotland.org.uk/funding/coach-education-subsidy-funding/
Full information has been shared with all scottishathletics affiliated club secretaries. If you are not aligned with a club, please contact coaching@scottishathletics.org.uk for further information.
