We recognise the vital role that coaching plays in assisting all levels of athletic performance all the way from the participation to performance phases.
At the University of Ulster we have the staff expertise to design and deliver quality training programmes that support all levels on the coaching continuum, in any sport.
We have established and manage a portfolio of high quality coach education courses, clinics, and camps.
We work with statutory agencies and sports governing bodies in Ireland and the UK to deliver a range of commissioned coach education workshops. We are extremely innovative in developing new products to meet NI needs and currently offer short Personal Professional Development (PPD)courses within the School of Sports Studies encompassed in the University's wider Certificate in Personal Professional Development framework.
The indoor and outdoor sports facilities boast some of the best facilities in Ireland including:
Coach Education is coordinated by Chris Galway B.A.(Hons), M.Sc, (Coach Education Officer) who has extensive experience in coach education and supporting coaches.
Assisting is Conan Doherty, a third year Sports Science student, currently on placement within the Ulster Sports Academy.
We have strong links with the School of Sport Studies, the Sport and Exercise Research Institute, Sports Development, Sport and Recreation and Sports Union all working towards improved coach education, utilising the vast experience and expertise available.
