England Korfball is seeking to recruit a qualified and experienced Strength and Conditioning practitioner to support the delivery of the England Korfball International squads.
Korfball is an attractive, fast moving, team sport played by men and women together. England Korfball’s vision for the sport is to ‘to boldly and creatively enable a growing korfball community to play, volunteer, enjoy and promote korfball’.
Our focus over the next five years will be to continue a path of sustainable growth in participation at all ages; of being bold, creative and innovative in our campaigns to raise awareness of korfball; of growing revenues to support our development priorities; and, above all, to continue to do what we do best; offer inclusive, enjoyable experiences to our members in clubs throughout England.
Our International Committee is driving forward new strategic priorities to improve the experience of our England Korfball teams and improve our international performances.
They are therefore seeking to recruit a volunteer who can assist with the following:
- Two strength and conditioning sessions for the England Korfball teams
- Establishing a korfball specific programme of strength and conditioning for the England Korfball teams (u15s to seniors) to be provided by our England Korfball Lead Coaches. This will include a training briefing for our coaches.
- Advice and guidance on benchmarks related to the strength and condition of international korfball players
We estimate the work to take approximately 5 days. Please note that training takes place at weekends and training locations are based in Croydon (London) and Norwich. Expenses will be reimbursed.
They are seeking an individual with the following qualifications, skills and experience:
- Qualified Strength and Conditioning Coach (such as BSc, a Certificate in Coaching Strength & Conditioning for Sport Qualification (CCSCSQ), REPS qualification, UKSCA accredited)
- Previously worked with non-professional athletes
- Experience of working with team sports
- Working and developing plans for both women and men, juniors and senior players.
