Opportunities to become a sports coach
This new scheme is another example of the commitment of Coleraine Borough Council and Ballymoney Borough Council’s Sports Development Units in bringing more people into sport and giving them a taste for progressing up the coaching ladder.
Sport is dependant on quality coaches and I would urge as many young people as possible to take part in this scheme and gain coaching qualifications”.
