In the week commencing the 14th, we celebrated UK Coaching Week 2020, by recognising the immense commitment and support our Coaches give to our clubs and individuals.

We also wanted to congratulate Claire Harper, Basketball Coach and Student Sport and Physical Activity Development Co-ordinator, who has been selected for the inaugural Leadership and Performance Programme run by Basketball England.

The programme is part of the #AllGirls campaign which Basketball England has launched to engage more women and girls in the sport. The programme aims to create a leadership community of women to impact performance and development across the country. It has been designed to support influential and upcoming coaches ready to lead and inspire a generation of future athletes. Claire is one of just 12 female coaches who have been selected, the programme will include six advanced coaching workshops exploring coaching practice, relationships and environments underpinned by expert research. We congratulate her again and wish her the best of luck for the programme!
