Dream Trail Race

 

 

 

St Helens Sutton Athletic Club


Our training nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays at Sutton Sports Centre
from 6.30 - 8.30 with additional sessions arranged by individual coaches
throughout the year and occasional sessions organised with outside coaches.

COACHING POLICY AND STRUCTURE

Coaching policy is determined by the Club Committee. The coaching structure is both athlete-centred and event-based. Child Protection policies are in place to prevent the development of exclusive and/or possessive coach/child relationships. All new coaches are mentored during their first year of coaching before being considered for upgrading.
 
Guidance for coaches

Coaches are expected to display high standards of conduct and adhere to the points outlined in the Guidelines for coaches and Code of Conduct.

All coaches must have a current UKA Coaching Licence. These are only issued on completion of a CRB form.

Funding for Coaching Qualifications

Parents and Volunteers

We are always on the lookout for people who would like to get more involved in helping out at the club.  In particular for parents of children at the club we'd love you to help out in some way.  Even a small commitment, like helping at the recent Sporthall Decathlon, covering the desk for a short time,  marshalling a race for an hour helps the club - many hands make light work!

In time if you do develop an interest in coaching the club can help you to gain formal coaching qualifications.

Make a special effort following our Olympic year to get more involved, talk to your (child's) coach or a member of the committee if you want to know more about how you could help us.

Make this year the year you get more involved in sport.     Volunteer Benefits
