Level: 4
Typical Duration: 18 Months

Possible Job Role: Sports Coach, Activity Leader, School Sports Coach

Course Overview

Sports coaches collaborate with teachers to develop pupils’ mastery of psychomotor skills by applying a whole-child approach in their coaching. They work in all categories of school and registered childcare environments. Sports coaches design and deliver coaching programmes that focus on the acceleration of sustainable mastery of children’s psychomotor skills and wider physical education standards.

Sports coaches profile children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development needs. They measure psychomotor, technical and tactical skills in a range of physical activity contexts drawn from the Department for Education’s National Curriculum to enable physical education targets to be agreed. These results are used to create a high-level curriculum plan that considers school term schedules and a ‘whole-child’ development approach. Stakeholders in this environment include children, parents, carers, peers, support staff, such as SENCO and safeguarding officers, teaching assistants, teachers, head teachers and school boards. Wider networks include local authority teams and social services.
