Wacky Workouts believes that coaches play an integral part in the enjoyment and development of the children with whom they work. Coaching is not just about the ability to inform someone of what to do or how to do it, but also the ability to adapt their coaching style to enable the children to lead, through discovery, problem solving and delivery. This is why our coaches are specialists in a chosen sport or have vast knowledge and experience in a range of sports.
All coaches possess a valid DBS, are insured and either hold NGB qualifications, sport related degrees and/or physical education teaching qualifications or are highly experienced coaches having coached or participated at club, county, national or International level.
