How many coaches?

What types of participants and performers are coaches working with?
Where is coaching happening?
Qualification levels and future needs
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and future needs
Coach payment
Major issues/problems faced by coaches

3. Club Coaching Survey
Targeted at clubs to find out more about their coaching workforce.
It will look at issues such as:
• Are there enough coaches in clubs to meet demand?
• Where (e.g. in which clubs, levels, disciplines) are most coaches needed?
• Do coaches need further development?
How can these development opportunities be provided?
