Project Overview

• This project is designed to benefit a number of
  sports that have been highlighted by a research
  project for lacking qualifications in certain
  sporting areas.
•  
• The main area of development is to get more newly
  qualified coaches involved in sports and existing
  coaches to a higher standard to help raise the
  level of sport in Sussex. The funding from SEEDA
  allows the less profiled sports to gain new
  qualified coaches to start or support existing
  sports clubs and overall improve the coaching
  standards in the county.

  project carried out by the Sussex County Sports

  across Sussex detailing all sports and
