The Level 4 Sports Coach apprenticeship is for high performing, community sport and school sports coaches, providing meaningful and high-quality learning, development and performance experiences.
The key role of a sports coach is to initiate behaviour change in local residents with regards engagement in sport and physical activity across local communities. By working within and across schools and local organisations individuals will scope, organise and coordinate the delivery of opportunities for local communities to get more physically active.
