Coaching Viewing Weeks
Come view your child in their coaching class this May and June.
Coaching Viewing Weeks
We’re delighted to invite you to observe your child’s coaching classes again this May and June.
Feedback shows that you’ve really enjoyed getting a glimpse into what your child experiences in class, and that these sessions have created more opportunities to connect with their teachers and coaches. There is no need to book, simply refer to the below table to find your child’s class and turn up!
We’re developing an annual programme of viewing weeks, so if your child’s sport or venue isn’t included this time, don’t worry – there’ll be more opportunities throughout the year.

Need to Know Information
1. If your venue doesn’t have a viewing balcony/gallery or spectator seating – you’re invited to watch the class from either on the poolside or in the sports hall. Space on poolside and in our sports halls is very restricted. Unfortunately this means that we can only invite one parent or guardian with no other children to these areas. See below for which area is available for each venue.
2. To ensure our facilities remain as clean as possible – if you’re on poolside or on any carpeted/matted gymnastics or martial arts area, please take appropriate indoor footwear to change into or remove your shoes.
3. Our standard rules around coaching classes apply:
- Use of cameras, mobile phones, and laptops is not permitted
- No food or drink (except water)
- Please do not disturb the coach/teacher during class
- Where possible, there will be another member of staff available to answer general questions
