As part of the European Week of Sport, Sport Ireland Coaching has developed a series of ICOACHKIDS Regional Coaching Conferences for coaches of children and teenagers of all sports.
The conferences are in partnership with the Sport Ireland Network of Local Sports Partnerships (LSP) and the Sport Ireland Participation Unit.
There are four ICOACHKIDS Regional Coaching Conferences scheduled to take place in September and will be hosted in Donegal, Sligo, Limerick and Waterford by the respective LSPs.
Each conference will feature guest speakers, including Sergio Lara-Bercial (Professor of Sport Coaching at Leeds Beckett University) and Nicolette Schipper van Veldhoven (Professor ‘Sport Pedagogy, especially towards a safe sport climate’ at the Windesheim University of Applied Sciences).
Among the topics to be discussed will be the 10 Golden Rules to create positive developmental experiences for children in sport, and The Compass for Coaching Children.
Sport for Business will host a special event in Dublin in November on the whole subject of Children and Sport. Watch out for further details or contact us if you would like to be among the first to hear what we have planned.
