This report provides an audit of the demand for, and supply of, coaches in the South East of England and critically assesses how coaching data is collected and what improvements could be made.
About the report
The research involved surveys of coaches working in the South East of England. Key findings included:
- Of the coaches who had been active within the previous 12 months, 77% held an NGB qualification.
- The South East coaching workforce comprised of 39% female coaches and 61% male coaches, with coaches tending to be within young to mid-range age groups.
- Most participants advertised a vacancy within the 12 months prior to the survey. The majority of positions were part-time and were likely to be in the fields of football, gymnastics or swimming. A significant number (20%) of the vacancies noted were deemed to be hard to fill.
The report also includes a series of future requirements based on the evidence provided.
