As part of Scottish Rowing’s strategic commitment to Grow Our Sport, we continue to invest in our clubs to increase both the quality and quantity of coaches, from grassroots participation through to high performance.
To ensure that individuals participating in our sport reflect the diversity of communities across Scotland, we are committed to removing as many barriers as possible. This includes enabling coaches from a wide range of backgrounds to access opportunities to upskill and develop.
Through our key partner, sportscotland, we have secured £7,000 of targeted investment to establish a Coach Education Subsidy Fund. This fund has been designed to support members of the Scottish Rowing community to access formal coaching qualifications, regardless of their financial situation or background.
Eligible individuals across Scotland can apply for up to 80% of qualification costs for the following courses:
Further details about these courses can be found here: Coaching Training and Qualifications.
As part of this initiative, Scottish Rowing will also work to increase the number of course delivery venues across Scotland. This will help reduce travel-related costs for participants and increase our overall capacity to deliver coaching courses nationwide.
