GET INTO COACHING

If you're over 16 and want to get into sports coaching, then a new free course, taking place in Westgate could be for you.

Get Into Coaching has been organised by the Thanet Sports Network, which includes the council's Sport Matters team, Sport England, Kent County Council Sport, Youth Sport Trust and Ursuline College Specialist Sport College.

The course offers free training, support and placement opportunities to people who are interested in coaching, but do not have a relevant qualification. On completion of this training and volunteering, those taking part will be put on to a National Governing Body Level 1 award .

Currently, the sports available on the course are football, cricket, gymnastics, health and fitness, rugby, tennis, athletics, netball and basketball.

The next induction day is on Saturday 6 March, between 9.30am and 4.30pm, at Ursuline College, Westgate.
