The Sports Coach apprentice has an important role to play in improving the health and wellbeing of children, families and communities by delivering fun, inclusive and engaging activities that help to bring about a change in physical activity habits. They will use extensive technical and tactical sports knowledge and skills to design and deliver coaching programmes that engage, motivate and evolve participants’ skills and performance. During this programme, Apprentices will engage with training that will develop and enhance their coaching skills and equip them to work in a variety of environments, with a range of stakeholders and work effectively in partnership with other organisations. In addition to this, there will also be a unique opportunity for candidates to engage with training that will develop and enhance their classroom practice/teaching skills so they can deliver whole class teaching for PE. This is an excellent opportunity for a flexible, creative and committed individual to join our happy, vibrant and skilful team.
School Sport Coaches design and deliver coaching programmes that focus on the acceleration of sustainable mastery of children’s psychomotor skills and wider physical education standards. They profile children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development needs. They measure psychomotor, technical and tactical skills in a range of physical activity contexts drawn from the Department for Education’s National Curriculum to enable physical education targets to be agreed.
These results are used to create a high-level curriculum plan that considers school term schedules and a ‘whole child’ development approach.
