Climbing Coach Symposium
The Depot, Manchester, 22-23 October
The BMC’s Climbing Coach Symposium is all about helping you to coach more effectively. So whether you’re an aspiring, newly qualified or experienced climbing coach, if you want to improve your coaching skills, you need this event in your life. What’s more, you can team it up with a Foundation Coach training course the day before (Friday 21st) and really kick start your coaching pathway (and get £15 off!*).
This year’s symposium is based at
The Depot in Manchester (recently opened and massive!) and hosts an impressive line-up of experienced coaches from around the world.
“We aim to create an inspiring weekend using cutting edge knowledge, research and practices, brought to you by climbing's most forward-thinking coaches from the UK and abroad.” - BMC
The event is all about increasing the quality of climbing coaching and the programme is flexible, allowing coaches to move fluidly between different practical workshops, live lab and seminar sessions.
