iCoachKids (iCK) is an international, collaborative, multi-agency, Erasmus+ co-funded project aiming to support the development of a Specialist Children and Youth Coaching Workforce across the EU to ensure all youth sport participants have a positive experience led by suitably trained coaches.
Under the overall theme of ‘Child Centred Coaching’, an international lineup of renowned youth experts will deliver keynotes, workshops and practical sessions over the two-day event.
The attending coaches will have the opportunity to listen to and debate some of the most important issues related to creating effective children’s coaches, including keeping children involved, child centred coaching, session planning, physical literacy, ethics in children’s sport, holistic coaching, the pedagogical and motivational sport climate and the role of parents in sport.
