Coaching in England has been split into regions, to ensure coaches are represented and supported across the country. Each region is headed up by a Regional Coaching Representative (RCR). Regions are further split into areas, which are represented by Area Coaching Representatives (ACRs). RCRs and ACRs play a vital role in supporting coaches throughout the regions and are the primary source of information to find out what is happening coaching-wise in your area.
ACRs provide a first level of support for coach members and clubs in the local area. ACRs form an important link between coaches, RCRs and the English Coaching Service, helping to provide feedback and identifying development opportunities. ACRs support the provision of the Coach Update Forums and actively participate in the National and Regional Volunteer Forums, representing the views and issues of local coaches. For further information about coaching in your region, please contact your ACR below, or contact your
Regional Coaching Representative.
Vacancies: If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an ACR, please get in touch with
Natasha Devonshire, who will be able to answer any questions you have.
