Community Sports Coach Level 4 Apprenticeship
Community Sport Coaches play a pivatol role in motivating and engaging people of all ages and abilities in community sports and physical activity settings. Community sport includes local authority, charity and national governing body of sport community initiatives or clubs.

- Provide one-to-one and group support to learners to help them progress toward agreed goals
- Design and deliver coaching programmes that focus on sustainable engagement and enrichment of participants.
- Collaborate with the coaching team including assistant coaches, managers, sponsors, boards and wider industry support networks
