We have used Teach Sport to train all our coaches these past years. I know Ian and the team of tutors well and I recognise their attention to the smaller details when it comes to teaching and delivery of high standard lessons. They focus on all the small things that make teaching sport so great, from ensuring lessons are engaging to differentiation to running sporting events that keep our children coming back again and again.
