Coaching grants
YAA Coach Qualification Grant
YAA has a fund to help towards the costs of coach training and all coaches can apply for this grant. The fund is divided into two parts - one being awarded on beginning coach training, and the second on completion.
Fully funded candidates
Where a candidate is fully funded from another source, e.g. own club pays all costs, the candidate shall receive an achievement award from YAA on successful completion of the course. The achievement award shall be £30 for all coach levels.
Partial or non-funded candidates
Where a candidate is either not funded from another source or partially funded from another source, e.g. own club pays travel expenses, the candidate shall receive a grant from YAA as follows:
Session Coach - £20.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
Development Coach - £45.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
Program Coach - £70.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
Senior Coach - £70.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
To apply for a grant, please contact the CCO. Evidence of enrolment and of successful completion must be provided. Enrolment payment will only be made on application to the county treasurer and must be endorsed by the County Coaching Organiser.
