The SSP is a working group which covers seven local authority areas. The Partnership has a vision for strengthening sporting pathways that exist within their region and beyond. To help achieve this goal the SSP delivers a range of programmes focusing on participant pathways and coach and club development. The Partnership’s annual Coach Development Seminar entitled ‘Coaching Connect – Developing Tomorrows Stars Today’ is also detailed in the Coach Education and Club Development brochure along with information on the new Online Coach Management System.
