To become a qualified coach, you need to complete a coaching course ran by the sport that you are interested in coaching. There are a range of courses that are available and these are explained in more details on the SASSOT Coaching website and here you will also find links to coaching courses being ran in the local area. To keep up to date with what is happening in the world of coaching, the best thing to do is register your details on SASSOT Coaching as explained below.

Coach Database / SASSOT Coaching

In conjunction with NGBs, Local Authorities and Education partners, Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent have developed the existing Coach Database to offer a number of additional benefits to coaches.  This is open to all coaches living or working in the Staffordshire area. The database is now held on a dedicated website for coaches, a local version of the CoachWeb system called SASSOT Coaching. The purpose of this website is to help to raise the profile and standards of coaching in this area. 

How does it work?

Professional organisations, community schemes, local education authorities and local authority employers looking for a sports coach for their programme or event, can make requests for a sports coach via the website. If you have given permission to do so, we can pass your details on to them if your criteria meets their needs. They then contact you if they're interested in meeting you.
