Coaching Delivery – PRO-ACTIVE London (Pan-London Projects)

Coaches Pledge As part of the contribution to the legacy from The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Coaches Pledge has been developed to ‘turbo-charge’ participation in sport and physical activity, while raising awareness of the role of coaches and the impact that coaching can have on increasing participation in sport and physical activity. The project has achieved Inspire Mark status and in keeping with the London 2012 Games theme, coaches can achieve gold standard (10+ hours), silver standard (5+ hours) or bronze standard (1+ hour).

Having successfully completed the tutor training and licence agreements, the delivery partners are now offering the service across the region to organisations interested in delivering this particular workshop.

Learning from the experiences of others is important in a coach’s development. I have seen the benefits of inclusive coaching through the work of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. I believe the sports coach UK “Inclusive Coaching: Disability” workshop can benefit coaches in the area of disability and inclusion. Harry Redknapp, Tottenham Hotspur Manager

Capital Coaching is the electronic newsletter that has been designed and developed to keep coaches in London up to date with the latest information from the PRO-ACTIVE partnerships. During 2011/12 three issues of Capital Coaching were released to a database of around 4000 coaches.

Funding for the tutor orientation was provided through the Mayor’s Legacy Skills Fund and seven tutors were trained to deliver this workshop.

Capital Coaching

The Pledge relates solely to new activity and does not include hours coached by way of existing relationships. Coaches can pledge voluntary coaching to clubs, community organisations and individuals.

Inclusive and Active 2

To date 190 coaching hours have been pledged across London.

As a result or the work with the Inclusive Coaching Project, support was provided by Interactive to ensure the strategic aims were in line with regional policy. As a result of this relationship, sports coach UK has now formally adopted Inclusive and Active 2.

Inclusive Coaching Project In April 2011, sports coach UK launched the ‘Inclusive Coaching: Disability’ workshop to replace the existing ‘Coaching Disabled Performers workshop’. The new workshop features a practical session as a key element to providing in-situ learning for coaches. The addition of the practical element provided logistical delivery challenges and a number of courses were cancelled in London. As a solution to this challenge, work commenced in the region to identify ways of providing the workshop in the most effective way and a number of key delivery partners were identified as having the potential to provide both the workshop and the practical element as part of a package. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Disability Sports Coach and Tottenham Hotspur Foundation were approached to become delivery partners and to take on a sports coach UK licence to deliver this workshop.

London Coaching Month – July 2011 The PRO-ACTIVE London partnerships delivered a London Coaching Month in July 2011, which enabled coaches to access training and courses for as little as £5 utilising the Mayor’s Legacy Skills Fund in exchange for the delivery of voluntary coaching hours. Courses on offer included a mixture of three-hour/half-day workshops (eg first aid, sport science workshops, safeguarding and protecting children, disability inclusion training, coach manager training). In total 26 courses were delivered across the five PRO-ACTIVE partnerships with 240 people attending courses.

London Coaching Month – March 2012

Talent Coaches Breakfast Clubs

Following the success of the first month in July 2011 it was decided to run a second event during March 2012, again using the Mayor’s Legacy Skills Fund to provide subsidies for course provision.

sports coach UK, in partnership with the CSSN, is hosting a series of breakfast clubs to provide targeted personal development for governing body coaches working with athletes in talent pathways. The clubs have been delivered regionally and will provide coaches with a unique opportunity to learn from experts and practising coaches at the cutting edge of talent development, share good practice and discuss challenges and ideas. Two breakfast clubs ran in 2011/12:

Building on the strengths of LCM 2011 and taking into consideration the areas for improvement, the following strategic outcomes were agreed for the second LCM: • Raise awareness of the existing courses and training on offer to new and existing coaches across London through a bespoke LCM marketing campaign and brand. • Coordinate and provide new courses and training that are needs-led from local partner intelligence and governing bodies. • Increase the number of London coaches attending courses and training and accessing needs-led CPD and qualifications. • Increase the coaching impact on sports participation through accessing LCM-promoted training and courses. • Raise the profile of the services PRO-ACTIVE partnerships and key partners can provide for coaches in London.

• ‘Developing Talent’, delivered by Stuart Armstrong, sports coach UK Development Lead for Talent, at Lord’s Cricket Ground, was attended by 24 coaches. • ‘Practical Sports Psychology/Mindset’, delivered by Andy McCann from Sports Mind UK at Brunel University, was attended by 16 coaches. In addition to these PRO-ACTIVE East London funded a third event using this format: • ‘Winning after Winning’, delivered by Mark Lane, England Women’s Cricket Team Head Coach, at Holden Point Olympic Viewing Gallery, was attended by 15 coaches. Further breakfast clubs are planned for 2012/13 with support from the PRO-ACTIVE partnerships.

Coaching Delivery – PRO-ACTIVE Central London PRO-ACTIVE Central London (PACL) has a dedicated Coaching Development Manager (CDM) who is supported by one Partnership Manager. They are hosted by the Academy of Sport at London South Bank University and the coaching lead has had a dual role to play in also leading the university’s coach development programme over the final six months of 2011/12. There has been significant progress in working with governing bodies of sport with regular meetings and strong working relationships developed with Badminton England, England Basketball, the Amateur Boxing Association of England, British Judo, the Rugby Football League, Run England and Triathlon England. In particular the work with the Amateur Boxing Association has led to the delivery of a project that identified a specific workforce target to increase the number of coaches in central London by 15, with an aim to retain at least 10 of these. Latent demand for new coaches in the London Boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark was identified and work progressed to organise and promote a boxing tutors course. In partnership with community providers, a number of these newly qualified coaches have been deployed in community opportunities in central London. The Community Action Zone in Lambeth agreed to mentor these new coaches and as a result there are now around 100 new coaching hours being delivered on a weekly basis.

There is ongoing support provided to the Sport Makers programme to ensure there is connectivity to the coaching pathway. Contact for more information Gary Palmer, Coaching Development Manager Email: palmerg4@lsbu.ac.uk

Key activities that have been highlighted for 2012/13 include: • support offer for three identified governing bodies • delivery of a comprehensive CPD offer including support to talent coaches • delivery of the Legacy Makers programme.

PACL meets quarterly with borough partners in order to establish a local needs assessment and also to identify local providers where appropriate. This has helped to establish a new PACL workforce development group in order to address coaching and workforce challenges. This also enables PACL to identify and promote any opportunities that they may have. There is regular interaction with coaching providers including The Greenhouse Charity, Arsenal Football in the Community, Fulham Football in the Community, Access to Sport, and Lambeth Sport Partnership and this enables regular promotion of employment and deployment opportunities.

As a direct result of the CDM leading the university coach development programme a new Active Workforce’ programme was established and delivered, based on partners’ needs. There has been a significant increase in both the number of workshops and the attendance at these workshops over the course of the year, with 639 delegate places being filled on Active Workforce workshops during 2011/12.

PRO-ACTIVE Central London – Recruiting into Coaching John’s Story ‘John’ was sent to a young offender institution in 2008. Through his resettlement broker he was introduced to the community team at Arsenal Football Club (AFC) as he was a very accomplished sportsman. Through release on temporary licence he was able to go to AFC and participate in work experience while still in custody. After his release, he was offered opportunities of support and work with the community team. AFC and PACL provided free coach education training to enable him to develop as a coach. Over the course of a year he attended a number of training workshops including ‘FA Level 1, Fundamentals (Multi-skills)’, ‘First Aid at Work’ and ‘OCN Level 1 in Youth Work’. He has now become an enthusiastic, well motivated young coach who delivers a number of community sessions to a range of ages every week. He has developed a desire to be the best that he can be, and he also wants to help others less fortunate than himself to avoid the pitfalls that he encountered. In 2012, he returned to the young offender institution to deliver The FA Level 1 Coaching Award to young people. He continues to do well in the community working with AFC having turned his back on the negative influences that led him to making mistakes in his earlier life.

The success of this story was the collaborative work between agencies that helped to remove the barriers that prevented John from making a positive impact in society. By providing him with access to subsidised, certificated and high quality coach education opportunities, he was able to develop his confidence and skills, which in turn helped him to make such a positive impact on the people he coaches.

ELSCA has been established to coordinate and increase higher education, further education, CSP and National governing body provision of coach education and voluntary sports training across the six Olympic host boroughs. This will contribute significantly to the Sport England objectives of increasing 14 years + participation and retention in sport, by using peers to deliver not only to feeder schools, but within further and higher education establishments. It will also act as a brokerage service in placing these newly qualified coaches in regular voluntary sports coaching and leadership placements. Through ELSCA there has been an increase in the numbers of Level 1 and Level 2 coaches in east London.

PRO-ACTIVE East London – East London Badminton Mentoring Project The East London Badminton Development Officer identified a discrepancy between the number of Level 2 female badminton coaches and the demand in the area for female-only coaching sessions due to the culturally diverse nature of the East London population. This mismatch of supply and demand was restricting the opportunities for the Community Badminton Network (CBN) to expand the current badminton provision. Each coach recruited was allocated a mentor to support them and help them develop their coaching skills so that they would be ready to complete a Level 2 qualification. The project was established to fund five female Level 1 coaches to complete the Level 2 qualification (25% Badminton England/75% Mayor’s Legacy Funding). After 10 weeks of mentoring, the group also visited the National Badminton Centre in Milton Keynes to observe high quality coaches deliver a session. The PRO-ACTIVE East London CDM supported the planning stages of the project with local knowledge and data from surveys and needs analysis conducted in the area. The CDM created informal mentoring training and a mentoring pack for each individual and supplied the coaches and mentors with tools (eg Coach Observation and Quality Assurance Checklists, Personal Development Plans (PDP) and Training Needs Analyses). All five coaches have now completed the Level 2 course. Three have passed and two are waiting to complete their assessment. All five coaches are actively coaching and will be setting up female-only sessions.

The joint approach was particularly useful when we were at the beginning of the project as documents such as a PDP, coaching analysis document and scenarios for coaches were made available. The project has provided us with an instant workforce that we know and can trust to deliver. The coaches have all said the mentoring aspect helped their confidence immensely, and for some of them having a friendly face on the Level 2 course also helped them develop during that time. All the coaches are now volunteering and some have gone into paid employment, which is a huge success.

Coaching Delivery – PRO-ACTIVE North London PRO-ACTIVE North London (PANL) has a Partnership Manager with a remit for coaching and a whole-CSP approach to the delivery of the coaching objectives. PANL shares a strong working relationship with Middlesex University and local partners when it comes to coach education and development. PANL has strength in the strategic management of governing body of sport needs. Coaching support has been provided to 31 governing bodies during 2011/12 and this has included new and revised agreements with 11 governing bodies. Key successes include the support given to British Cycling and British Orienteering in identifying, training and deploying coaches and leaders to support their key programmes. In particular the work with British Orienteering has led to the development of a new community orienteering club. Sessions are now being delivered on a weekly basis and the coaches are being supported with CPD opportunities linked to Middlesex University and the North London Coaching Conference as well as marketing and promotion of sessions with local schools in Enfield and Barnet.

Ongoing support is being provided to the Sport Makers programme to ensure there is connectivity to the coaching pathway. Sport Makers who had completed 10+ volunteering hours were offered free places at the North London Coaching Conference to provide administrative support and to help document the event through feedback videos from the delegates. Contact for more information Matthew Eames, Partnership Manager Email: m.eames@mdx.ac.uk

Key activities that have been highlighted for 2012/13 include: • continued strategic support to a number of governing godies • support for workforce needs through PANL ‘GROW’ Social Enterprise Project • the north London Coaching Conference.

The North London Coaching Conference has been one of the highlights from 2011/12. 22 courses were offered over a weekend in March at the Trent Park Campus of Middlesex University with 221 coaches attending. The Mayor’s Legacy Skills Fund enabled participants at the conference to obtain 75% off their course and workshop fees and the opportunity to provide great value through package offers such as three courses for £35. Many of the coaches attending the conference are now delivering on local sports projects such as Change4Life clubs and supporting local governing bodies’ priorities and delivery.

PANL has also helped to provided £192,000 of additional coach investment into North London during 2011/12 through: • Sportivate – supported and funded 112 coaches across 23 governing bodies of sport and 64 new projects targeting 2505 participants aged 16+ • the Mayor’s Legacy Skills Fund – 857 coaches from north London (as of quarter three 2011) have received up to 75% off their course or workshop fee in exchange for delivering voluntary coaching hours.

Over the past 12 months local training needs have been gathered from partners and governing bodies of sport helping to contribute to the demand for over 80 courses and workshops being delivered by Middlesex University, leading to the development of over 900 individual coaches.

PRO-ACTIVE North London – North London Coaching Bursary Programme (NLCBS) Since 2010 PANL has delivered its own coaching bursary programme, which links the outcomes of coaching, Sport Makers and Sportivate together. Coaches are supported through either Level 1 or Level 2 courses in exchange for them attending a Sport Makers workshop and delivering at least 10 new voluntary coaching sessions targeting new participants aged 16+ within a local sports club of their choosing. To date, 54 coaches have been supported through the programme across 16 governing bodies; 262 new sessions have been delivered; 234 new 16+ participants have been retained for a minimum of six sessions; and 2955 new coaching hours have been delivered. The coaching bursary has had a great impact with local coaches such as Mario Smoltzy who was supported via the bursary through his Level 2 generic cycling in 2010/11. This helped him to set up the Trax Cycling Club at Lordship Recreation Ground in Tottenham, Haringey. Mario was supported through the bursary again in 2011/12 to gain his Level 2 BMX-specific course. This has enabled him to start new a new BMX club linked to Trax Cycling Club and provide BMX coaching to a wide range of young people and adults from the local area on a weekly basis.

The bursary has been brilliant and enabled me to gain the qualifications required to start the club two years ago and develop a new BMX club this year. I’ve received good support and been able to learn from other coaches on the courses.

Coaching Delivery – PRO-ACTIVE South London PRO-ACTIVE South London (PASL) has a Coaching and Workforce Manager (CWM) who leads on coaching with support from the CSP core team. They are hosted by the London Borough of Croydon and have strong relationships with local partners and key governing bodies of sport. The customer-centred approach employed by PASL ensures that they are able to develop long-term benefits for coaching in south London. There has been progress working with governing bodies of sport during 2011/12 with support being offered to eight sports throughout the year. Specific workforce interventions have taken place with England Athletics, England Basketball, British Gymnastics, English Table Tennis Association and British Weight Lifting. The work with the English Table Tennis Association (ETTA) was a result of a direct request to PASL to find a coach who would be able to assist with talent identification for disabled participants. Using the extensive network that PASL has, a coach was identified and referred to the ETTA. As a direct consequence of this the coach will now be receiving direct financial support from the ETTA to pursue formal coaching qualifications.

Sport Makers and coaching are exceptionally well connected as the CWM leads on both areas. Therefore ongoing support is provided to the Sport Makers programme to ensure there is continued connectivity to the coaching pathway. Contact for more information Brian Thomas, Coaching and Workforce Manager Email: brian@pro-activesouthlondon.org

Key activities that have been highlighted for 2012/13 include: • focused work with up to five governing bodies of sport • delivery of a needs-led CPD offer for coaches • an offer of mentoring support to coaches and governing bodies.

PASL provided administrative support and led the London Coaching Month in July 2011, with particular success coming in the form of the support provided to British Gymnastics in achieving minimum standards for deployment for many of its coaches. Work initiated with Old Elthamians Cricket Club has been identified by the England and Wales Cricket Board as best practice in working with young leaders. A leaders support programme was initiated and funded through the Mayor’s Skills Legacy Fund that has seen 100 young leaders receiving training during 2011 and a return of 2000 voluntary hours given to London. The young leaders have been recognised at Lord’s and the ECB is looking to roll out the programme nationally.

NHS South West London has commissioned PASL to deliver the ‘Active Celebration’ project to increase sport and physical activity levels in Sutton and Merton in the build-up to, during and post the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As part of this project, PASL has been supporting a Coach and Instructor Bursary since December 2011.

The CWM has provided direct support to St Mary’s University in delivering on coach education support programmes, in particular, the coaching month that the university runs in January. In addition to this, support has also been given to the pilot further education project that has been running in Kingston and Richmond Colleges.

PRO-ACTIVE South London – Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic group (BAMER) Project In December 2011 the publication of the Sporting Equals Insight Report into black and minority ethnic groups (BME) Coaching in Sport confirmed that BME coaches make up 3% of coaches in England. This developed the idea for a BME project in south London and an approach was made to the Volunteer Centre Merton resulting in the conception of the BAMER Project. The goal of the project was for young people to be recruited as Sport Makers and then be given an opportunity to pursue coaching qualifications with a view to eventually coaching without supervision within BME communities within the London boroughs of Sutton and Merton. In order to ensure adequate support was in place tutors were chosen who could offer mentoring support and advice beyond the formal coaching qualification stage. With funding from NHS and the Mayor’s Skills Fund, London South Bank University was contracted to deliver Young Netball Organiser and Youth Umpire Awards that were completed by seven young people and also a Level 1 football coaching qualification that was completed by 14 young people. Between March 2011 and March 2012 approximately 20 BME coaches in Merton received Mayor’s Skills funding. As a result of the BAMER Project 21 coaches received funding to pursue coaching qualifications representing a 100% increase in BME coaches in Merton.

‘

The project was a great experience, enabling me to make new friends and giving me different life skills to use in later life. I’d like to continue coaching and do my Level 2 so I can coach unsupervised and eventually get into football management. Duane Adekoya, project participant

The young BAMER participants will continue to receive direct mentoring in the form of structured sessions and support. Toni Wiltshire, netball tutor and mentor, was delighted to be involved with the project and said: ‘This project is more than just a coaching award, it’s about direct support and life skills and I’m looking forward to the next steps in supporting these young people.’

Coaching Delivery – PRO-ACTIVE West London PRO-ACTIVE West London (PAWL) has a Coaching and Leadership Development Officer (CLDO) who leads on coaching. They are hosted by Brunel University and support the delivery of the Sport Makers programme and Active Brunel, which is part of the Active Universities Programme. There has been progress in working with governing bodies of sport during 2011/12 with agreements in place with England Athletics, BaseballSoftballUK, British Cycling, England Handball and England Netball. The work with England Netball has led to a Level 2 course being delivered, predominantly for Brunel University, at Harlington Sports Centre and promoted via Brunel University’s’ coach education programme to match students’ needs. The intention will be to use the identified students from this course to shadow Netball Development Coach Coordinator (NDCC) in Brent and in Ealing. This will help to support further participation growth in Back to Netball sessions in these identified boroughs.

Contact for more information Jemima Morris, Partnership Manager (currently CLDO post is vacant) Email: jemima.morris@brunel.ac.uk

Key activities that have been highlighted for 2012/13 include: • specific support to a number of governing bodies • delivery of a coaching conference • provision of informal CPD opportunities including supporting talent coaches.

Through the Break into Coaching project PAWL has worked with Interactive to provide an opportunity to support a number of disabled people in accessing coaching qualifications and employment within sports coaching in west London. Local support has been provided to the London Boroughs of Brent and Hillingdon, which both offer CPD programmes for coaches. These programmes have been advertised through the west London coaching network and have resulted in 370 delegate places being filled on course in 2011/12.

Sport Makers and coaching are exceptionally well connected as the CLDO leads on both areas. Therefore ongoing support is provided to the Sport Makers programme to ensure there is continued connectivity to the coaching pathway.

As Brunel University is a training camp for The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, PAWL recognised a need to support talented coaches. Working with Brunel University and Athletics Canada, PAWL organised and hosted ‘An Evening with Canadian Paralympic coaches’ which was an interactive seminar that aimed to inspire and enlighten coaches across the west London area. More than 30 coaches attended the event, which provided them with an opportunity to pose questions to the Canadian coaches, as well as gain an insight into the life of a Paralympic coach. Many of these coaches have since gone on to attend the Talent Coaches Breakfast Clubs being run in London.

The Coaching Landscape in London 2011/12

PRO-ACTIVE West London – Break into Coaching PAWL worked with Interactive to apply to Access into Volunteering to ensure that 12 disabled people had effective support in accessing coaching qualifications and employment within sports coaching in west London. The long-term goal was to qualify 12 coaches who, through the Break into Coaching programme, would be recognised as professional coaches and become more employable once they had completed the programme. The coaches would be up-skilled to be a Level 1 coach in their chosen sport, and provided with a link to a local sports club in west London, where they would deliver voluntary hours over a 12-month period. During this time they gained valuable experience within sports coaching and were provided with access to various CPD opportunities, which were jointly funded by Break into Coaching and linked to the Mayor’s Legacy Skills Fund. Two coaches progressed from a Cycling Ride Leaders course to a Level 1 British Cycling qualification. This meant the coaches were able to set up and lead local cycling groups in Brent, resulting in three regular cycling group sessions with the charity MIND, which works with people with mental health issues. Following on from his achievement of gaining a Level 1 tennis qualification, Ben Lampert has recently applied to study for a Level 2 tennis qualification. Ben will use this qualification to set up a new tennis group within the club he is now employed under resulting in increased adult participation at the club.

The Level 1 coaching has helped us ride to a much higher standard, which we have passed on to the group at MIND. Also through you, we now have part-time paid employment with Sky. It has also opened the door to full-time employment and various volunteer opportunities, which would not have been possible without the funding and support.
