ATU Letterkenny will be the venue for the 1st I Coach Kids Conference which takes place on Thursday 1st September from 6.30pm. This series of coaching conferences promoted by Coaching Ireland will take place across Ireland from the 1st with ATU Sligo being the venue for 2nd September.
The conference is part of the European Week of Sport, Sport Ireland Coaching and is in partnership with the LSP Network and the Sport Ireland Participation Unit. If we are going to attract children and teenagers and keep them engaged in sport and physical activity (PA), we need to consider how sport and PA is perceived, how it is delivered and what we value. Sport and PA should provide positive meaningful experiences for each and every child/teenager. At Sport Ireland Coaching we believe that coaches of children and teenagers need to be more valued and supported, so that they can deliver this for children and teenagers.
So, if you answer YES to any of the following questions attending an ICOACHKIDS Regional Coaching Conference is for YOU!
- Are you a coach of children U12?
