Talent Coach Breakfast Clubs
sports coach UK, in partnership with the Coaching System Support Network (CSSN) is hosting another series of Talent Breakfast and Brunch clubs.
Who are the Clubs for?
- level-3 coaches (or those working towards)
- coaches working within an governing body talent development pathway.
Depending on the sport, these coaches are likely to be working at a County or Regional squad level.
How will the Clubs benefit coaches?
The Clubs will provide targeted personal development. Coaches will be able to:
- learn from experts and practising coaches at the cutting edge of talent development
- share good practice
- discuss challenges and ideas with coaches in similar positions
The clubs will be delivered regionally.
What’s the cost?
All coaches that attend a breakfast club will be charged £10. However, in some area’s County Sports Partnerships will pay on behalf of the coach.

What time do breakfast clubs start?
Breakfast club start times vary according to how easily accessible the venue’s are by public transport. Therefore, this information will be provided once you book on or enquire about attending. In the majority of cases breakfast clubs will start between 8-10am and last for around two hours.
What is the role of the Coaching System Support Network in the Breakfast Clubs?
CSSN Partners (including CSPs and sports coach UK staff) will manage the delivery of the breakfast and brunch clubs. This includes, securing a venue, providing refreshments, supporting the booking, marketing and communication.
Talent Brunch Clubs: Another Dimension
For 2012/13 we have added another dimension to the programme to enable NGBs to run sessions for a targeted group of coaches working within their talent pathway. In this respect there is an opportunity for NGBs to provide a ‘Talent Brunch’ using the same topic/speaker from the preceding breakfast session to deliver the topic from the specific perspective of the sport. Please note that although the Brunch clubs will be supported by the Coaching System Support Network, places on the Talent Breakfast Brunch will be at the discretion of NGBs and it is likely that these clubs will be run on a closed basis via invite only.
