Working with young children

Key Stage One Coach

Key Stage One coaches share the responsibilities of a Multi-Sports Coach, but are specially placed with those children on camp who are eight years old and under.

Delivering high-energy, fun and inclusive activity sessions that gets every child active and having fun, each day will include a wide range of activity sessions, including (but not limited to) football, tennis, badminton, cricket and more – with each session typically lasting between 30 – 45 minutes.

Child safety is our number one priority and coaches need to ensure the welfare of the children in their group, during activity sessions, and during morning, lunch and afternoon breaks. We expect the safe use of equipment and adherence to our policies and procedures.
