Support your club and learn more about how to train for triathlon - become a triathlon coach

We are always looking for new coaches to help with training and we're really keen to encourage club members to get involved in coaching. 

The latest round of training to become a British Triathlon Federation coach has just opened for booking. If you already have some existing experience of coaching then your best option is to go straight to level 2 (subject to BTF agreeing you have enough experience). If you are new to coaching then you will need to start at level 1.

The club will cover the up front costs of the training and you then repay the costs through delivering sessions. Both courses take place at the Crystal Palace sports centre and you MUST attend all the dates. Apparently level 2 is new and improved!

If you want to know more, give me or one of the other coaches a shout. 

The closing date for booking is the end of Oct but they tend to get booked up quickly so let me know asap if you are interested in booking.

Jan, please send me your email address, thanks

Closing this for applications now, thank for massive levels of interest, great to see so many people interested in getting involved. Those who have said they're interested should have heard from me on next steps, if not please resend me your email address. Lucy

Would be interested in Level 1 Coaching - drop me an email as I live in the north it would require a discussion re coaching sessions in London. It'd be great to know what you would like in return :)

It may not be practical due to location, but would like to explore the possibility.

Thanks

Ian

Ian, please drop me a msg with your email address
