There are two parts to the course. Part One is a weekend course 9am to 6pm on October 12 and 13 at The Cliff, Larne. Part Two involves assisting with coaching council’s Halloween sports camp on October 30 and 31 and November 1.

Siobhan Poulter from Otium Leisure Consultancy who are delivering the programme said: “The programme is a great opportunity for young adults to develop new skills – and add to their CV! They’ll learn about physical literacy, performance analysis, the role of the coach, leadership and good relations. They’ll also come away with a dodgeball coaching award.”

Gary Boyd , Community Sports Development Officer for the council added: “The programme will help to build and strengthen relationships, creating young leaders allowing them to take on a fuller coaching role in club, school and community settings. It also explores differences and similarities and will help address respect and mutual understanding establishing a legacy of collaborative work with different sports and groups.”
