The Active Coaching Team

The Active Coaching Team is made up of 13 full time Community Sports Coaches who cover a wide range of sport & physical activity. The team deliver a structured & targeted programme within school & community settings across the borough.

Within the team are 3 sports specific coaches responsible for the delivery of Cricket, Netball & Rugby League, three physical activity and health coaches responsible for delivering the various health related programmes we offer, a disability coach who delivers sessions within special schools and for disability community groups, and finally six multi-skill coaches who deliver generic multi-skills and multi-sport sessions.

Last year the team delivered 751 hours of weekend & evening community based sports sessions to 9354 young people. The team have delivered to 12379 young people within schools throughout the borough.

Throughout the year there have been a number of key events that have demonstrated the teams commitment to achieving their aims. An example of this would be the Ashton Community Cup, an event organised by a Andrea Pilling to break down barriers between the police and young people within the township of Ashton & Bryn. The ‘Get Active this Summer’ 2007 was a Sports Development event lead entirely by the Active Coaching team. The six week programme engaged over 1000 young people throughout the borough. The work the coaches carry out within schools also receives excellent feedback. The team aim to double this number with the ‘Get Active’ this Summer 2008 programme.
