Resources, training, and targeted support for volunteer coaches, employed coaches, and fitness professionals working across sports and physical activity

At UK Coaching, we recognise the important work that volunteer and employed coaching workforces do in keeping the nation active. That’s why we have a range of funded support and resources available to support you.

Our funded support can help advance your knowledge, experiences, and opportunities, with the result being that you are able to deliver the very best in sports and physical activity across England.

Whether you are looking to increase your skills, advance your knowledge, or build your enthusiasm and confidence, then ReTrain to ReTain is here to help.

Everyone involved in the delivery of sports and physical activity in England can access a range of funded and free training resources to support you in your role. That includes sports coaches, personal trainers, fitness instructors and many more.

About The Initiative

The ReTrain to ReTain programme, funded by Sport England, is available to all volunteer and employed coaches. It also provides further support for those who support under-represented groups.

Depending on your circumstances, UK Coaching can provide you with a range of online training courses and resources to help advance your skills and knowledge.

This includes a UK Coaching Club Subscription (usually £24 per year), which offers 12 months’ unlimited access to:

  • over 500 exclusive industry training materials, webinars, videos, toolkits, professional templates, expert guides and evidence coaching tips that will help you transform your coaching game

  • 24/7 1-2-1 professional consultations on legal, tax and counselling services

  • Coach Perks – save thousands on everything from coaching kit and equipment to lifestyle savings on shopping, meals and tech from top brands (such as Apple, Adidas, Asda, Tesco and JustEat)

  • industry leading online courses, free of charge training and exclusive members-only discounts off a series of programmes 

  • All the benefits of standard club access, including membership to our online community ConnectedCoaches and our Duty to Care Digital Badge and Sudden Cardiac Arrest eLearning course.
