Junior girls and boys now enter sculling events in approximately equal numbers and the Trustees want to encourage such parity to be extended to coaching at all levels.

The Scullery will consider funding coach training courses (e.g. Level 2) but wants to ensure that coaches it funds continue to coach junior sculling; coaches who apply for these courses should commit to coaching for their existing club/school for at least two years.  We would also encourage individuals who have been funded in this way to apply for Level 3 or equivalent courses, and we will consider favourably further applications from those individuals to fund their coach development needs.

The Scullery also works with British Rowing to support coaches on its Coach Development Programme, which runs from January to December each year and prioritises women, those from non-traditional backgrounds and coaches trying to deliver something new (see https://www.britishrowing.org/knowledge/courses-qualifications/coach-development/).  Note that the Scullery will only support coaches of junior scullers.

Applications should be made using the Coach Development Support application form below.  Applications may be made at any time (specifying the date by which a decision is required); however the Trustees are likely to need at least four weeks to reach a decision.
