Our ACE Programme consists of three development pathways, and your coaching responsibilities will vary within each:
Aspire Pathway – Focus on players seeking to improve in a fun, social environment while building strong technical and tactical foundations for progression.
Commit Pathway – Support club-level players dedicated to enhancing their performance for competition at local and county levels.
Excel Pathway – Work closely with highly competitive juniors performing at county to national level, helping them prepare for and succeed in tournaments.

Many players also engage in individual coaching to accelerate their progress alongside group sessions.

This is a self-employed position offered under a Coaching Agreement.
