In conjuction with the Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, a successful bid has been made by the Sports Development Officers at East Lindsey to create a network of community coaches, which aim to:

• Increase the number of qualified coaches at local level.
• Increase participation rates of selected sports
• Develop school club links

The development of a pool of high quality community sports coaches will not only enhance the quality of existing activity but also provide the opportunity to generate substantial new activity.

The pool of community sports coaches will be employed in a geographical area and will work as a team across a range of clubs, schools and local authorities, based on identified need. They will be carefully deployed to ensure that the maximum number of young people benefit.
