Basildon Athletics Club in need of Sports Coaches

Basildon AC are looking for technical sports coaches who specialise in field events.

The Olympics has drawn more attention to athletics clubs, in particular Basildon AC. The club, which already relies upon managing and coaching volunteers, feels the strain of the sudden influx of youths.

Basildon youths have been inspired by the recent Olympic sporting achievements of Team GB. The increased popularity of field and track sports since the Olympics means that more coaches are needed for children, and sport, to benefit.

Eamonn Martin, chairman of Basildon AC, is a three-time Olympian and wants to continue the success of the club creating talented individuals for the 2016 Olympic games.
