Becoming a recognised Level 1 UKUA Ultimate coach is both a rewarding and valuable experience. This course develops the information, techniques and strategies that you can then pass on, explain and justify, to team-mates and other players with confidence. The material covered will improve your understanding of both coaching and playing Ultimate.

Is the Level 1 Coaching Award for you?

Whilst we would not wish to discourage anyone who is keen to learn the basics of coaching Ultimate, the following list will give you an indication of the background necessary to gain the most from the course:

You should have:

• been playing Ultimate regularly for at least 18 months
• competed at several national-level outdoor tournaments
• organised and run at least one team training session
• experience of teaching beginners to throw backhands and sidearms
• have a good practical understanding of the rules of the game.

If all of the above applies to you, then the material in the Level 1 Coach award has been designed with you in mind!
