It is about the philosophy of our sport and its coaching. It is, indeed, its title, the foundations of coaching.

Hi there
Our next set of courses will probably happen around conference time in May 2019. We generally don’t run too many of then through the year unless there is a need for one. I will put your name on the wait list and when we have 10 or more we will arrange a course.
I hope this helps you out.
