Club Matters is Sport England’s one stop shop for sports clubs, groups and organisations involved in the delivery of physical activity and sport. Club matters provides free convenient, practical resources to help organisations to develop, grow and become more sustainable and successful.

Club Matters will be delivering online workshops.

For the foreseeable future we will be running UK Coaching Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshops online via virtual classroom sessions.

The workshops will run for two hours and will follow the same process as our face to face workshop with the same content being covered.

In order to attend any of our online workshops you must have access to a laptop, tablet or a smartphone (however functionality may be limited using this device). Throughout the session you must have access to a fully functioning microphone and audio system.

This is a collaboration between West Midlands based sport, physical activity and mental health organisations committed to working together to increase the number of service providers who are equipped with the skills to support and engage people who may be going through a mental health experience in physical activity.

We have access to free licenses for an online e-learning course in Mental Health Awareness in Sport. For more details on the course, click here.

If you would like access to a licence then please get in touch with Daniel Allen.

Each week UK Coaching will be holding a conversation about a particular coaching topic that they know is important to coaches and one that many would like to learn more about.

The ‘Curious Coaches Club’ will have three parts to it:

1. Watch ‘A Conversation About…’ between expert coaches live on a Monday or on-demand via UK Coaching.org 

2. Engage and take part in a more in-depth community-of-practice style conversation about the topic on Wednesday from 11.00am to 12 noon or Thursday from 18.00 to 19.00 via smaller informal gatherings of coaches hosted by one of their team. Book on one of the Community of Practice webinars, although note that, to attend a session, you must have attended the live open webinar or watched it ‘on demand’ via UKCoaching.org.

3. Continue the conversation via the community aspect of ‘Connected Coaches’ hosted on UK Coaching website.
