Important notice - for all Basketball Coaches & Tutors in Wales
To ensure the sustained and progressive development of coaching standards in Wales it is critical that all coaching courses are administered and organised by the Association". For a number of important strategic and financial reasons, coaching courses must only take place after agreement from the Director/Assistant Director of Coaching, Dr Steve Lloyd/Ms Lucy Power.
Naturally the Association is delighted to see many coaching courses taking place. This requirement is not meant to hinder progress, quite the opposite, it is meant to assist coaches, regions, clubs and organisations in providing well organised, high quality coaching courses.
Please note: coaches are placing themselves at risk if they organise and run any courses without the prior knowledge and permission of the Association. There will be no legal protection for anyone in this position. Coaches could be sued personally, if the Association has not certified the course.
The message is clear - seek agreement and get lots of support - or coaches will most definitely be vulnerable. Many thanks for your cooperation in this important matter."
- Dr Stephen Lloyd, Director of Coaching |

UK changes to coaching awards - brief background (UKCC)
Introduction to UKCC pdf
What does the UKCC mean to new & existing coaches, & what will it achieve?
From the Sports Council for Wales:
The 'UK Coaching Certificate' - what is it all about?
In the past each governing body for sport had developed their own unique coaching qualification structure which has resulted in a lack of harmonisation between sports throughout the UK and often between Wales and other Home Countries. The UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) is an initiative to endorse coach education programmes across 31 sports within the UK . Whilst each sport will continue to have unique sports specific element, there are many elements of a coaching qualification that are similar across all sports, and therefore it is hoped that this concept can be used to adopt a standard approach to qualifications which will be endorsed and quality assured.
It will mean that by 2006 there will be a five level UK wide framework for coaching qualifications. To a coach this will mean:
• Any qualification you undertake will be recognised anywhere in the UK
- You can transfer your qualifications across to other sports more easily, and it will be transferable across the Home Countries
• The training provision will be quality assured
• There will be a quality assured administration and management structure in place
This will hopefully lead to a more professional and effective coach education system! The 31 selected sports are currently undergoing the process of re-aligning their existing coach education qualifications to the new standards. Each sport is at a different stage in this process, but the first the first twenty will be ready to deliver the qualifications by 2006.
