Liverpool School Sports Partnership launch apprentice training for city’s young people

Liverpool School Sports Partnership are developing two exciting opportunities for its members for the 2017/18 academic year, including the introduction of apprentice training.
LSSP is committed to supporting and developing young people’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing and is sponsoring the Outstanding Commitment to Sport in a Primary School Award at this year’s Educate Awards.
In September, LSSP will launch an exciting opportunity for budding sports coaches across the city. Working in partnership with Sporting Futures Training, it will deliver PE and School Sport apprentice training to 16 to 24 year olds.
LSSP want to train and develop the city’s young people to be role models for future generations and are hoping to recruit enthusiastic young people to work in local schools.
The apprentices will work alongside school staff in the school for four days each week and for one day each week they will work alongside experienced LSSP staff. This will see them develop the skills that are needed in this fast moving and challenging environment.
Another one of the exciting opportunities LSSP is launching is Balancability training, which is designed to develop children’s fundamental skills, balance and control. In April, LSSP staff spent an exciting day with an accredited trainer learning how to deliver the training.
LSSP’s Balancability training team are ready to work with groups of early years children from across the city, encouraging youngsters to take their first steps in learning to ride, developing the necessary skills to transition from a balance bike to a pedal bike in a safe, challenging but fun way.
