Coaches
Opportunities
Disability Sport Wales have many options for coaches to join
their work force in a variety of sports with any of the different
impairment groups. The courses fall in to one of the 3
categories:
(1) Disability equality training
For those new to the field of disability including an overview
of terminology, legislation, and a brief look at what disability is
and how individuals are affected.
(2) Sports specific courses
Courses run by the National Governing Bodies for
sport providing a specific level of training for each sport.
These courses are not necessarily disability specific although some
governing bodies may have a disability module.
(3) Disability specific training
There are currently training opportunities available that
provide specific information and guidance regarding working
alongside deaf/hard of hearing sports people and a similar course
for coaches and volunteers working alongside people with visual
impairments.
Volunteers
The Sports Council has launched a website devoted to providing
guidance and support for anyone interested in becoming a coach
