The LCO is an important link for coaches within clubs, centres, and independent coaches; they play a part in gaining feedback, providing updates on policy, and sharing innovation. The LCO also provides a link between the coaches within their area and Canoe England, this occurs through their Regional Coaching Organiser, Regional Development Team, and Canoe England employed Staff. Through this mechanism Canoe England can make informed decisions regarding the development and implementation of policies and procedures. The LCO also plays a vital role in the organisation and running of Local Coach Update Forums, and are encouraged to organise any other activities / initiatives in support of the general development of Coaching to meet local needs. They also act as a point of contact for coaching related enquiries.
We are inviting individuals interested in taking on the role of LCO in several areas to put themselves forward:
If you are interested in one of these roles please contact Karen Bagshaw, English Development Administration Assistant, on 0845 370 9552 or Email
