South Staffordshire Network Local Coaching Development Plan

clubs to form the South Staffordshire Network. The other
four Clubs involved are :
•
Cannock and Stafford Athletics Club •
Tamworth Athletic Club •
Washland Women Runners •
Burton Athletic Club
Athletics
Networks are clusters of clubs working strategically with
other local key partners to develop the sport of athletics
in local areas. McCain Athletics Networks will seek to
drive up the quality of coaching, links with community
groups such as schools, competition in clubs (inter and
intra club) and also seek to develop the all round quality
of provision within clubs in the network. The ethos behind
McCain Athletics Networks is all about working in
partnership to improve the provision of athletics in the
area.
The Network was formally launched on 10 November 2009 at
the MRI Club, in conjunction with the “Flying Coach Visit”
of Paul Evans, international marathoner, for a Marathon
training clinic.

A
number of UK Athletics courses for Club coaching
qualifications are programmed to be held in the Midlands,
over the next few months.
Stafford Harriers as a Club is keen to see more members
take up coaching to help guide our growing membership.
If you would be interested in starting, or further
developing, in athletics coaching skills, the Club will pay
the course fees and assist with travel costs.
