Please note that there are still many places available on the Level 1 Coach Education course to be held in Munster on March 2nd and 23rd. The response so far has been very slow and if this does not pick up, the course will be cancelled. The venue for the course will be decided following the receipt of a sufficient number of applications. Note also that there will not be another course in the region until Autumn 2013.
The Leinster course, starting this weekend in Lucan has exceeded subscription. All further applications will unfortunately have to be declined. However, if you are interested in doing this at a later date, please forward your details to the PPUI office. If there is sufficient interest a further course may be organised for April.
Details of the Level 1 Coach Education Course:
The course is primarily aimed at equipping coaches with the skills to coach 8-12 year olds but it also provides them with the fundamentals for coaching beginners of all ages. Participants need to be of good playing ability. The course takes place over two days and both days must be completed in order to complete qualification. The two days of the course are set three weeks apart. The full course outline is available on the PPUI website in the Downloads > Other section or by clicking HERE.
The cost of this course is €50 per person. Once qualified, all coaches will receive PPUI coaching gear as well as their Coaching Ireland/PPUI Certificate.
The rollout of the new Level 1 course, commenced in 2011, has been very successful and popular among the participating coaches. As part of PPUI plans, we would like to have at least one coach in every club so if you currently do not have a club coach, I’d urge you to consider putting forward a suitable member.
If your club has any members that wish to attend any of these coaching courses, please email pauric@ppui.ie or call 01-6251110. Places on a course are limited and will be filled on a first come first served basis.
