In order to be considered for a grant coaches whether paid or voluntary must be coaching in Derbyshire and fit into one of the categories below:
The maximum grant that can be claimed per organisation i.e. club in any two year period commencing 1 April is:
Level 1 - £600
Level 2 - £600
Coaches will be able to apply for a maximum of 50 per cent of the total cost up to a maximum of £200.
The bursary panel will also consider contributing to petrol costs where a coach has to travel outside Derbyshire to attend a course. A 15p per mile overall mileage cost can be included in the application and the 50 per cent criterion will apply as will the upper maximum limit of £200.
There is a target within Coaching Derbyshire to qualify 40 Level 3 coaches over the coming two years. Ideally, these coaches will be identified through Governing Bodies and through the Coach Bursary (with Governing Body endorsement), will be able to receive a grant of up to £350 towards costs.
As you may appreciate, the panel would like coaches to apply to other funding bodies – the Derbyshire Community Foundation, Awards for All and to neighbouring County Sports Partnerships where their club/organisation is situated on a boundary for example.
The Derbyshire Sport Coach Bursary will now operate on a fixed annual basis.
The deadlines for each round are:
Round 15 - 31 July 2010
Round 16 - 30 September 2010
Round 17 - 31 December 2010
Round 18 - 31 March 2011
Coaches can apply at any time up to two rounds before the course starts and two rounds after they have completed their course.
Priority will be given to coaches who meet the criteria above and who are from under represented groups in coaching: women, black and ethnic minorities, disabled people and unemployed.
Payment will usually be made after the course has been completed. Costs will be reimbursed upon the production of receipts and a copy of the certificate.
Details of applications will be shared with the relevant National Governing Body and Sport Development Officer for their feedback.
