Coaching Children Course

Dublin City Sports and Wellbeing Partnership will be running a Certified Coaching Ireland Programme starting the 3rd of September. This will be running for 4 Tuesdays from 6pm - 9pm in Kilmore West Recreation Centre. The cost of the programme is €30 per particpant. Attendance at all 4 workshops is necessary to recieve certification.

Children's needs in sport are different to the needs of other populations; therefore the coaches of children need to be equipped with specific knowledge, skills and competencies to fulfil the needs of children.Children want different things from their sport participation and require different approaches given their stage of development both physically and mentally.

Coaching Ireland have developed 4 modules, specifically to provide candidates with a better understanding of children’s sport and physical activity and best ways to optimise children’s enjoyment, participation and positive outcomes.
