Sports Coach / Instructor

Sports Coaches train sports skills, techniques and fitness to people of all ages and capabilities. Activities at leisure centres and health clubs can include swimming, martial arts, tennis, squash, gymnastics, yoga, aerobics, football, basketball, volleyball, and many more! You'll also plan and run structured training programmes, attend to competitions and events with participants, give performance feedback, monitor participants' physical and mental health and develop them into effective and motivated teams where appropriate.

Coaching qualifications are very advantageous for people wanting to work as sports coaches or instructors. They can be obtained directly through sports national governing bodies or as part of college or university courses that include coaching. To work with children you'll need Criminal Records Bureau clearance. Practical coaching skills, physical fitness and a passion for sport and exercise are very important.
