Do you think you could do a better job than your
exercise instructor?
Are you fed up with watching
your children or friends from the side lines?
Are you no longer able to take part in the sport you love but would
still like to be involved?
Well, have you thought about becoming a coach or instructor? The
Go4Life bursary can do just that by helping you to gain a formal
qualification.
The aim of the bursary is to support North Somerset residents
who may not have any formal coaching/instructing qualifications or
as part of their development want to attend additional physical
activity or coaching courses.
Funding is available to cover either all or half of the overall
course fee depending on the cost of the course. In return for the
support received you have to commit one voluntary hour per £10 in
funding you access to the North Somerset coaching programme.
Awards will be made on a bi-monthly basis up until Monday 28
February 2011 or until the funding runs out.
