Course Summary

BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching has been designed to develop coaching skills and offer progressive coaching opportunities as your ability, knowledge and confidence develops. The course will begin by delivering coaching training and development conducted in the safety of the class room and our new sports complex. The course will progress your skills to involve you in delivering coaching sessions to local athletes and community groups and will provide opportunities and links to volunteer or undertake placements working with individual athletes and community groups. The pathway in the science of coaching will develop a deeper knowledge of scientific theory – physiology, biomechanics and the psychology of coaching. The pathway in sport development will develop deeper knowledge of sport policy, sport development and project delivery with an opportunity to devise, deliver and evaluate a community-based initiative. Both pathways provide opportunities to put theory into practice either by working with individual athletes or groups in the local community to provide training and sport development for local partners, for e.g., locals schools, sports clubs, youth groups and community projects. The course has real-world learning and employability at its core and you’ll be able to develop practical and professional skills through a variety of placement options from working and volunteering in the local community to a full sandwich year-long placement.
