Information for UKU Registered Coaches

Congratulations on becoming a UKU Registered Coach

The UKU Coach Register is an important part of putting coaching at the center of the development of Ultimate, promoting high standards and a safe environment for everyone.

This page includes resources and information for coaches.

When you become a UKU Registered Coach you agree to adhere to the UKU coaches code of conduct.

Risk assessment templates

Keep records of your risk assessments. Risk assessments should be used for the venues you use and for your session planning. You can use these templates as a starting point. When you open this template you will need to save your own copy before you can make edits.

Incident reporting form

As a registered coach you must complete an incident report form and send a copy to UKU if any of the following occur:

  • Fatalities

  • Injury involving referral to or actual hospital treatment

  • Head injuries

  • Allegations of professional negligence arising from tuition, coaching or advice

  • Circumstances involving damage to third party property

Keep your membership profile up-to-date

As a registered coach it is important that your membership profile is kept up-to-date. Your membership profile should include:

  • Current contact details

  • Current clubs

  • Coaching qualifications

  • DBS (if applicable)

  • Safeguarding training certificate (if applicable)

  • Frist Aid certificate (if applicable)

  • UKU Coaches code of conduct

  • WFDF Rules Accreditation certificate

Safeguarding, welfare and DBS

Please take a look at our safeguarding pages. Safeguarding trainings is an essential part of keeping everyone safe (including coaches!). For training options take a look at the CPSU (the Child Protection in Sport Unit) and Ann Craft Trust (adult safeguarding). If you need a DBS, UKU can administer this for you.

Those employing a coach (whether paid or on a voluntary basis) are responsible for ensuring the coach is properly set up and registered. Some inexperienced in working with sports coaches might need the coach to explain the requirements.
