Action Plan for Coaching
Arising from the governments sporting agenda and associated wider issues, such as health and social inclusion, and not forgetting the successful 2012 Olympic bid came the need for the development and implementation of an action plan which will look to address all of the aforementioned issues surrounding coaching and the increasing significance it will play leading up to 2012 and beyond. The importance of a UK-wide sporting and coaching legacy can not be underestimated and to this end sports coach UK, the lead national agency for coaching, was tasked with the development of The UK Action Plan for Coaching.
The UK Action Plan for Coaching will address the structure, resources and resultant outcomes of the proposed coaching system along with agreeing optimal working arrangements within all key partner and third party organisations. The vision the Action Plan will strive for is:
A cohesive, ethical and valued coaching system where: children, players and athletes are supported by appropriately skilled coaches at all stages of their development in sport and which is number one in the world by 2016, bench-marked against international best practice.
National Governing Bodies of Sport, including the BEF, have been key in developing the plan leading up to an extensive consultation process which culminated at the UK Coaching Summit . The second draft of The Plan has now been finalised on the basis of the mandate arising from the Summit and sets out the goals for the UK Coaching System. The Plan can now be viewed, along with full details of the process to date, on the sports coach UK website www.sportscoachuk.org and we invite your comments and feedback on the document to ukapc@sportscoachuk.org by 28 July 2006.
