The Level 1 and Level 2 coaching courses in May 2010 will aim to encourage female coaches to attend and a number of ‘female’ only places have been allocated for this course.
We appreciate that some women find an all male environment intimidating and we are hoping that by targeting certain courses as 'female friendly' we will have a larger number of women on these courses together and break down the barriers that some women may face in becoming qualified coaches.
Female coaches can attend any of the coaching courses scheduled throughout the year as well and these ‘female friendly’ courses. The dates of the ‘female friendly’ courses are shown below:
