NEWS

sports coach UK is currently in the process of reviewing the services we offer to coaches and the coaching industry. Part of this exercise is dedicated to the workshop portfolio we maintain. It has become clear that a number of the workshops we offer are coming to an end of their life cycle. Therefore, from April, there will be a new core workshop package consisting of a smaller, more focused, number of titles that relate directly to current coach need.

However, where the demand for those workshops that have been removed from our open programme is warranted we would like to facilitate an appropriate delivery mechanism, although greater lead-in time would be required to appropriately prepare tutors and the associated resources. If you wish to book one of the titles, please contact Paul Rufus - prufus@coachwise.ltd.uk
