On the 3rd June 2017, we are pleased to announcee that we will be hosting the first Community Activators course at Livewire Orford Jubilee Hub, Warrington.

The course will provide passionate and enthusiastic individuals (18+ Years of Age) with the confidence and skills to lead a variety of activities aimed at encouraging participation within the sport.

There are three important key strands to this role, all of which can be rewarding and will enhance participation and enjoyment of triathlon for all.                                                                               

• To organise and lead safe, effective and inclusive triathlon training activities and experiences (cycling & running).
• To inform, inspire and cultivate connections in their local clubs and communities, with initiatives such as GO TRI.
• Act as a ‘coach support worker’, helping the Head Coach during sessions (e.g. setting up and take down equipment, taking timing splits, writing the session on the white board etc.)

This is NOT a coaching qualification. Individuals who aspire to become a coach much complete a formal coaching qualification.

This course is primarily designed to provide those who want to take on this role some additional skills to increase the safety and enjoyment of such activities for all those who take part.
