Welcoming the new additions to the Regional Team, Coaches Coordinator Phil Alberts said he looked forward to working with them to support BSAC clubs and diver training.
“The Regional Scheme continually strives to listen to and provide direct support and advice to all our clubs and members and this works due to the commitment of over regional coaching team volunteers.
“I’m delighted to welcome our three new coaches to the team and I’d also like to thank our outgoing coaches Phil, Paul and Martin for all their hard work and dedication over the years.”

The Regional Coaching scheme has been designed to directly support BSAC clubs and members and keep BSAC clubs up-to-date on BSAC developments.
Divided into UK and Overseas regions, the scheme provides training and diving advice as well as guidance on club management. It also offers a range of regional training opportunities that may not be available through all BSAC clubs.
