Help shape the future of sport coaching in Northern Ireland!

Following the success of our 2025 seminar 'Advancing Sport Coaching and Development', Ulster University, in partnership with Sport NI and NI Sports Forum, is hosting a 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 29𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐲 2026 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬

This event will build on the conversations started last year, bringing together those passionate about elevating coaching in sport and physical activity across Northern Ireland. Together, we'll look to co-create solutions around four key objectives:

✅ Elevating coaching within sport & physical activity policy
✅ Promoting the impact and value of coaches
✅ Advocating for equitable entry into the coaching workforce
✅ Championing positive conditions for sport coaches

We'll also hear a keynote from Ciaran Ward, Head of High-Performance Coaching at Sport Ireland, and finally explore how we might work together to support future developments.
