Sports Coaching

There's always demand for club coaches locally. If you would like to get into coaching, the Vale of Glamorgan Council's sports and play development team can help you.

We can provide information on the first steps to take, put you in touch with local clubs that may require more coaches and could help you get some experience, and we can also tell you about any forthcoming coaching and sports courses.

In conjunction with the Vale of Glamorgan District Sports Council and national governing bodies of sport, we offer a range of courses that include SportsCoach UK courses www.sportscoachuk.org. We also advise on First Aid training and sports specific courses.

If you need extra inspiration to get involved, then check out Sport Wales' 'Behind Every Star' campaign.

Funding

All clubs affiliated to a Sports Wales recognised National Governing Body are eligible to apply for Community Chest funding which can be used to pay for coaches to attend coach education courses etc. Members of the Vale of Glamorgan District Sports Council can access many of the coaching courses organised at a reduced cost.
