Process for coaches - step by step guide - how to register

How to register on line with Impact Sports Coaching

Our on line registration process is the first point of contact most coaches have with Impact Sports coaching. It is essential that the information contained in the profile is accurate and kept up to date given that it is the starting point for selecting coaches into the agency.

Once a coach has registered on the website, their details are automatically sent to the team HQ where the vetting and interviewing process will begin. Their details will be checked against minimum operating standards, and should these be acceptable then the coach will be invited for an interview and observation session.

Minimum standards are important to ensure safety, quality, and to adhere to all safeguarding requirements. Until this information is completed to our satisfaction then a coach will not work with us.

If successful, the coach will then become one of a pool of coaches in the Impact Sports Coaching team. They will undergo an induction programme, be assigned a mentor, and undergo a training needs analysis to help with their continual professional development. The agency will then endeavour to find suitable work placements for the coach.

Registering will take about 25 minutes to complete fully. Please have details such as dates of qualification to hand.

Here is a step by step guide showing how to register:
