Eight newly-qualified coaches graduated last week from Meath Local Sports Partnership's Community Coaching award 2018/2019.

The Community Coaching award is a 14-week programme, funded by Meath LSP through the Sports Ireland Dormant Accounts.

The aim of the programme is to equip participants with the necessary skills to deliver coach education within the local communities.

The graduates will assist Meath LSP in delivering projects throughout the county over the coming months.

Meath LSP chair Cllr Sharon Tolan congratulated all the graduates and wished them well in their respective future roles with Meath LSP and the wider community.

She also paid particular tribute to Thomas Winters who is the first Powerchair Graduate of the Community Coaching programme.

“Thomas was not only an inspiration to everyone who took part in the programme, but to the wider sports disability network,” she stated.

The Trim man will act as an Ambassador for the Meath LSP Sports Disability programme and he has been selected on the Irish Powerchair football team for the upcoming Nations Cup in Finland next May.
