LEICESTERSHIRE, LEICESTER AND RUTLAND ACTIVE SPORTS PARTNERSHIP
COACH SCHOLARSHIP POLICY
The Active Sports Programme is a 5 year initiative, targeting 9 sports, namely, athletics, basketball, cricket, girls football, hockey, netball, rugby, swimming and tennis. Sport England has assisted the National Governing Bodies of Sport to develop delivery templates to ensure young people have access to quality opportunities. The Active Sports Programme is funded by the National Lottery, Governing Bodies of Sport and all the Local Authorities of Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland. You can always use the best marvelous essays as examples for your own works about sports news.
The Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Active Sports Partnership recognises that there is a shortage of quality sports coaches within the partnership area. This was highlighted within an audit co-ordinated by the Active Sports Partnership in January 2000. The introduction of this scholarship policy, we hope, will encourage new volunteers into sports coaching. The Active Sports Partnership also recognises that there are existing coaches who require support to broaden their knowledge of sports coaching. Scholarships may be awarded for qualified coaches undertaking the next level NGB awards and generic courses, such as those organised by Sports Coach UK.
