Young people offered free training to become sports coaches

Young people in East Sussex are being offered free training to help them become sports coaches.

Sessions for people aged 16 to 25 are provided by Active Hastings and Street games.

Organizers said this would particularly benefit those who already volunteer at sports clubs and community organizations.

Anyone interested can register on Active Hastings’ website.

Glenn Haffenden, lead councilor for housing and wellbeing at Hastings Borough Council, said: “This is a great opportunity for young people who want to improve their skills and gain valuable coaching experience.

“We are committed to developing young people in our city and the StreetGames program is a great way for young people to develop their skills.”
