Mentoring

Mentoring of staff/parents/volunteers can be carried out as part of each coaching session and time must be built into the delivery for this. This will enable the coaches to step down as the lead deliverer and for staff to begin taking over planning and leading the activities. Additional mentoring time can be costed in around the coaching delivery.

One-off training can be tailored to your settings requirements, this can provided in house through shadowing staff, attending inset days or staff meetings. Be aware that this may bring an additional charge if over your commissioned hours.

We link with key partners and can offer sports specific coaching courses, inclusion awareness and other related fields such as Brain Gym and Early reflexes if required.
