Calling all potential sports coaches!

If you have ever thought you could be a coach in white water kayaking, dodgeball or similar skills, then Carmarthenshire Council’s Sports Development Unit might have a course for you.
Over the half-term period at Drefach, Ammanford, Llanyssul, Llandeilo, Carmarthen, Llanelli and Burry Port there are nine different sports or disciplines being handled in coach tuition. See accompanying programme for details.
The Sports Development Unit has again teamed up with a variety of National Governing Bodies to provide entry-level coaching courses for those that wish to volunteer in the 5x60 and Dragon Sport programmes or within the community.
County executive board member for leisure services Cllr Clive Scourfield said: “For many candidates this will be the first step on the coaching pathway and it’s hoped that they will become inspired to get involved in coaching in schools and in the community.
“Volunteers are an integral part of sport in Wales and could become an inspirational coach responsible for the next generation of sporting stars.”
Please contact our offices if you would like us to put you in touch with local clubs that need volunteers.
Anyone interested in the courses should by October 14th contact the Sports Development Unit, Carmarthenshire County Council, Parc y Scarlets, Pemberton Retail Park, Llanelli, SA14 9UZ Tel - 01554 744 349.
