Living Sport, the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough sports partnership, has 10 coaching bursaries of up to £250 available each to support coaches wishing to gain a Level 2 coaching qualification.
More qualified coaches on the ground working in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough’s clubs and communities will support an increase in participation, contributing to the development of the local coaching workforce. By supporting the local coaching workforce, Living Sport aims to contribute to the national objective of more people participating in regular sport and physical activity.
This coaching bursary scheme will contribute to the Sportivate programme aims of over 5,000 young people aged 11-25 years, participating in regular sport and/or physical activity in the county, with coaches successful through such funding committing to delivering a series of 6 beginner/taster sessions for these young people.
The deadline for the submission of an application for a Living Sport Coaching Bursary is Friday 17th January 2014. As there are only 10 bursaries available, we strongly recommend coaches apply as soon as possible to ensure they do not miss out.
Ryan Cullum, Living Sport’s lead officer on Sportivate said, “The launch of this coaching bursary scheme, through the Sportivate programme, will see more young people being able to access opportunities to play sport while improving local coaches. We can only encourage local clubs and coaches to apply for a bursary today.“
