Engaging with the UK Coaching Framework
As the lead agency for sports coaching in the UK, sports coach UK has the task of creating a world-leading coaching system by 2016.
In order to use the finite resources of sports coach UK to best advantage, our work is currently focused on supporting the 31 sports that have formally committed to the UK coaching Framework to develop and implement their coaching systems, including further development of the UK Coaching Certificate.
Recognising that other sports may in future seek advice and support in developing their coaching systems and coaches, sports coach UK is able to offer all sports access to a wide range of resources.

The 2nd UK Coaching Summit
The objectives of the 2nd UK Coaching Summit were as follows:
- consider the UK Coaching Framework: a 3-7-11 Action Plan for formal endorsement
- consider the key elements needed to Build the Foundation of a world leading coaching system in the UK, and
- commence the process of implementation
This resulted in the following declaration being adopted:
This Summit formally endorses the UK Coaching Framework, and commits to the first stages of implementation, including the formal launch and significantly advancing the key elements of Building the Foundation by April 2008.

The UK Action Plan for Coaching becomes the UK Coaching Framework
At the recent Funding and Policy Partners Group held on Friday 26 January 2007, it was agreed that The UK Action Plan for Coaching would be retitled to:
The UK Coaching Framework: A 3-7-11 Action Plan
It was deemed the change in name would better reflect the function of the document and the principles within. It also recognised it is a Framework in which the Home Country Sports Councils and governing bodies' of sport have the latitude to interpret the Framework to their own individual organisations.
Trailblazing Sports and The UK Coaching Framework
Certain sports have already begun working with sports coach UK to help develop and implement the Framework within their coaching structures.
Six trailblazing sports will be chosen to pilot the roll-out and implementation of the Framework. Further details regarding this will be communicated shortly.
