Raising Standards of Sport Coaching throughout the City

Coaching Edinburgh announces the launch of its new coaching scholarship scheme for 2012

Coaching Edinburgh is a service which helps current and potential coaches to develop their coaching skills. Anyone can become a coach and many find it incredibly fulfilling. We also want to increase the quality and the number of coaches within Edinburgh to support sport across the city.

"We are very excited to extend the ongoing support to Edinburgh’s dedicated coaching community with the launch of three new scholarship stages," said Gavin Macrae Club, Coach and Volunteer Development Officer. "We now have the ability to offer coaches access to specific practical resources to allow them to reach their potential. We believe that in today's difficult financial climate that investing in people is a priority to ensure the continued strengthening of our well trained workforce.”
