Better Coaches & Leaders

BETTER COACHES & LEADERS

Our goal is to guide and support the establishment of a coaching & leadership system in Surrey that is the best in the UK. This system will not only produce and maintain coaches & leaders that are fit for purpose as a result of their education, qualification and development, but also deliver the right coach/leader to the right place at the right time.

The aim of this Framework is to provide structure to the development of better sports coaches and leaders within the county of Surrey. The Framework will help support the delivery of sports coach UK's UK Vision for Coaching and Sports Leaders UK's Strategic Plan and provide direction for the delivery of key targets in Sport England's Regional Plan for Sport, Mission: Possible.

This framework outlines where Surrey aims to be with regards to coaching & leadership by 2009. It has the following underlying aspirations:

To increase the number of people receiving coaching and tuition
To increase the number and quality of coaches and leaders
To increase the number of coaches and leaders from under-represented groups
To increase the number of young people involved in coaching and leadership
To increase the opportunities for training and employment
To increase the number of people participating in sports and physical activity by 1% year on year.

The Framework gives examples of how this can be achieved to assist partners in writing implementation plans, which will be a key part in delivering Surrey's strategic objectives. It acknowledges the need for the improved co-ordination of coaching & leadership development, education and training across Surrey and more effective communication and commitment to partnership working.
