Sports Coordinator

A Sports Coordinator organises and manages sports activities and programmes for schools, clubs, or community organisations. You might work in educational institutions, recreational centres, or sports clubs. Sports Coordinators focus on planning and implementing sports events, training sessions, and fitness programmes. You’ll ensure that activities are safe, engaging, and tailored to the participants’ needs, while promoting physical health and teamwork.

Sports Coordinators play a vital role in fostering a love of sports and physical activity. You’ll need to be organised, energetic, and have strong leadership and communication skills. You’ll work closely with coaches, participants, and other stakeholders to ensure that all activities run smoothly and that everyone involved benefits from the sports programmes.
