A sunny and successful weekend at TBSF

As most of us enjoyed the sunny weekend weather, 20 new TBSF members started their coach training courses being held across the region. 

On Saturday 13 members started their Level 1 Basketball Coaching course at Queen Alexandra College in North Tyneside.  This is a 2 day course with the final day being held next Saturday.  Once our members have qualified they will be volunteering their time with their local basketball clubs.

On Sunday 7 members took the 1 day Leadership in Running Fitness course held at Middesbrough.  Early reports are that it was a successful weekend with everyone involved agreeing that they thoroughly enjoyed the courses. 

Paul Rea from Saltwell Harriers says:

“Even as an experienced runner I gained a lot from this course – health and safety tips, advice on stretching, warming up and cooling down.  It was really enjoyable and great to meet other members of the Foundation”.

Graham Smith an employee of Northumbrian Water who signed up through the TBSF for Business scheme, said:

 “It was a great course and has completely changed the way I will approach training in the future.  Many thanks to the Foundation and my employers Northumbrian Water for making it possible”.
