Coaching registration
The Sport and Fitness Services section is improving the management and development of coaches and volunteers through the Coach/Volunteer Registration Scheme.
The updating of the scheme will bring Sport and Fitness Services in line with national guidelines and ensure the safety and welfare of children and young people involved in events and activities organised by the Sport and Fitness Services section.
Registration procedure
Sports coaches and volunteers are able to register for free using the online form here.
Once the form has been processed you will become registered as a London Borough of Richmond upon Thames coach, instructor or volunteer.
With your permission, you will be entered into a coach database which will be made available to all our four sport centres, Teddington Pool and Fitness Centre and the Sports Development Team. The database will provide information relating to coaching qualifications, additional qualifications, First Aid qualification, CRB clearance and Personal Indemnity Insurance where recommended.
Once registred on the database you will have access to discounted coaching and development courses organised through the Sports Development Team and a regular newsletter which will include updates and information regarding the courses and workshops that are available.
