The Coach Core Apprenticeship programme is back in late 2026, giving young people a great pathway into sport and physical activity 💡

We’re looking for local organisations to get involved by mentoring and supporting young people aged 16–24, especially those not in education or employment, through the Level 2 Community Activator Coach apprenticeship.

We’d love to work with organisations that are well-connected in their communities and passionate about helping young people grow, gain confidence and thrive through sport and active lifestyles!
