Coach Ultimate

Coaches can have a significant and positive impact for players, clubs and teams. Coaching provides an opportunity to a way to stay connected to the sport or to join the Ultimate community. Those who might make excellent coaches are players or ex-players, teachers, parents and coaches of other sports.

  • UKU Coaching qualifications

  • What is your First Aid plan?

  • Do you need a safeguarding policy or plan?

  • Do you need additional training or paperwork? You might need a DBS or specific training for the group you’re working with?
