TY Sports Coaching Programme 2026/27
Back for 2026, Cork Sports Partnership is delighted to announce we are now accepting registrations for the popular TY Sports Coaching Programme 2025/26. This programme will run for a limited number of students from Cork Secondary Schools during 2026/27 school year
The aim of the programme is to upskill and develop Transition Year students by completing a package of National Governing Body Of Sport Coaching Courses. Students will then be given the opportunity to plan, run and co-ordinate internal school blitzes. Students will also be provided with the opportunity to support the delivery of a number of Cork Sports Partnership School events during the year which will provide hands on experience of mass participation events.
Please note:
- Max 4 student places per school | 8 schools will be accepted
- Schools will be selected on a first come first served basis, attend all course dates, ability to host one coaching course date and commit to deliver follow on sessions within your school
