Coach Bursary Scheme

CSW Sport Coach Bursary Scheme 2011

Please Note: The Coach Bursary Scheme is currently under review and there are no scheduled rounds at this time.  It is anticipated that funding will be available in the future for coaches, however the criteria is likely to change.

Revisit our website for updates on the latest developments.

What do we fund?

CSW Sport accepts applications for a bursary towards a recognised National Governing Body of Sport coaching qualification (we do not accept applications for fitness or non-coaching qualifications). Applicants are required to identify the coaching course on their application form and book themselves on to the course.

Level 1 and Level 2 Qualifications:

  • A maximum subsidy of £100 for a National Governing Body of Sport mandatory pre-level 1 Coaching Qualification, when applying for a Level 1 bursary
  • A maximum subsidy of £100 for a Level 1 National Governing Body of Sport Coaching Qualification
  • A maximum subsidy of £200 for a Level 2 National Governing Body of Sport Coaching Qualification

Level 3 Coaching

Currently, the CSW Sport bursary scheme is until 31st December 2011 and completing a Level 3 qualification in full (course and assessment) can take a long time. Therefore, CSW Sport will fund a bursary towards a Level 3 module/course or assessment, as it is unlikely a coach will be able to complete both before 31st December 2011.  Funding amounts are:

  • A maximum subsidy of £200 for a Level 3 Coaching module/course
  • A maximum subsidy of £100 for a Level 3 Coaching assessment

CSW Sport will also provide opportunities to attend FREE and subsidised Coach Development Workshops

Who can apply for a coaching bursary?

Any individual who is 16 years or over and who is able to demonstrate how their bursary will impact on participation in sport in the community.

Applications must be supported by a community club or relevant organisation (Education establishment, Local Authority or not for profit organisation) who delivers sport in Coventry, Solihull or Warwickshire.

The club or organisation must be a constituted body and have a bank account in the club or organisation’s name.  The individual is required to complete 10 hours of unpaid coaching for their supporting club or organisation.
