Coaching pole sports is about helping participants to take part safely in the sport and help them achieve their goals, whatever they may be.  Often people decide to compete in a competition as a challenge but don’t really know where to start with their preparations.  This is where a coach can be a great help.  They can help you to plan your training, monitor your progress and teach you how to compete or just get fit and have fun.. 

We have four levels of instructor coaching programmes to improve standards as well as continued professional development courses to help coaches achieve and improve throughout their career.
