From Our Course Attendees…
Here’s what some of our course attendees had to say about their experience with the YSCA. This is a course which does not provide negatives; it provides the knowledge to allow practical implementation of high quality YSC sessions that will allow young people to achieve their potential whilst having fun and being safe.
The knowledge of the tutors was amazing. Their attention to detail in the course content made it enjoyable and very informative.
Completed Youth S&C Coach in Sheffield and all I can say is WOW.. What a fantastic course. In depth and detailed focus on training our young on mobility and physical competence. Tom and Jason help make the course. I cannot recommend this course highly enough and I’m looking forward to YSCA Specialist.
