Coach Development

scottishathletics are pleased to announce the new Coach Education and Development calendar dates for 2017/2018.

The role of the coach at all levels of our sport remains crucial, at whatever age and stage you coach.

Your contribution to the development of athletics and the opportunities you provide are a source of inspiration: whether you are helping aspiring young athletes to achieve their goals or are working with talented performers in their pursuit of excellence, your support to athletics in Scotland is invaluable.

Improving the education of our coaches is key at scottishathletics and we are constantly setting up a schedule of courses for coaches to broaden knowledge and increase the overall level of coaching expertise in Scotland.

To view all the upcoming courses check the specific pages on the site.

More coach qualification and development opportunities in athletics will be available in due course. In the meantime, please keep checking the Coaching page to see these being listed.
