Hampshire Sports, Coaching and Officiating Bursary Schemes

Report of the Director of Recreation and Heritage

Contact: Paul Bickerton, ext 6283

1. Introduction

1.1 The purpose of this report is to inform members of the Sports, Coaching and Officiating bursary allocations for June 2002.

2. Background

2.1 The aim of the Sports Bursary Scheme is to provide financial assistance to talented sportsmen and women in Hampshire who are competing, or who have the potential to compete at regional, national and/or international levels in their chosen sport. Applicants must be Hampshire residents and have the support of their respective sports governing body. Also, they must either be on the point of leaving full-time education or have already left.

2.2 The Coaching and Officiating Bursary Scheme has two main aims. Firstly to increase the number of Hampshire residents who are qualified to coach, and secondly to improve the standards of coaching within the county by developing existing coaches. Coaches must be Hampshire residents, have the support of their respective sports governing body and demonstrate a commitment to coaching.

3. Sports Bursary Awards

3.1 The awards are made twice yearly in June and January respectively. Since the last report in January 2002, the scheme has continued to attract a large number of applicants. This is demonstrated by 29 applications being made for awards between January and June 2002.

3.2 The budget for 2002/03 is £11,000. There are no deferred awards from January 2002 to consider.

3.3 In this tranche of Sports Bursary allocations £5,750 has been awarded to 23 athletes as detailed in appendix 1 of this report. This leaves £5,250, which will be used in the January 2003 tranche.

4. Coaching and Officiating Bursary Awards

4.1 The number of applications for this scheme reflects the value that coaches and officials place upon financial support with their relevant courses. In the June 2002 tranche, 14 applications have been received for consideration, though 3 of these applications have been for clubs (which include more than 1 coach). A wide range of sports are represented, as are applications from new coaches and those more experienced who want to develop their coaching skills.

4.2 The budget for 2002/03 is £6,000. There are no deferred awards from January 2002 to consider.

4.3 In this tranche of Coaching and Officiating Bursaries £1,925 has been allocated to the 14 applications as detailed in appendix 2. This leaves £4,075 for the January 2003 tranche.

Recommendations

1. That the Bursary awards set out in appendices 1 and 2 be approved.
