Coach and officials support fund
Learn more about the support fund available to students looking to gain a coaching or officiating qualification to support their volunteering.
Every sport needs coaches and officials, and the skills you can develop are valuable wherever life takes you.
Put simply, coaching is encouraging others to achieve their full potential. It is a unique skill that can provide a range of rewarding experiences that develop you personally and professionally, helping you in future career searches.
Whether you are wanting to try something new or looking to take your passion for your favourite sport to the next level, we can help.
