A DATABASE system has been launched to help give grass roots sports enthusiasts access to qualified coaches.
The database has been launched by Darlington Borough Council’s Sports development Team to assist schools, clubs, community groups and leisure providers to find coaches.
The scheme ensures sports coaches have the necessary qualifications, and are Criminal Records Bureau checked.
Anyone interested should contact Paul Foreman, Sports Development Officer, on (01325) 254370 or email him at paul.foreman@darlington.gov.uk.
