Welcome to the Coach Education and Development section of the Sports Union Website.

The University of Strathclyde Sports Union are committed to facilitating the ongoing development of quality coaches and instructors within Sports Union clubs.  Currently no specific courses are being hosted within the University, however this is something which will be introduced should there be a significant demand for courses.

We do however have access to Culture & Sport Glasgow programmes - who operate a number of grant aid schemes to support and assist clubs.  The Sports Union can provide further information - please contact the Sports Development Officer on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it / 0141 567 5063.
