What is it about?

The NRF Community Coaching Network is an initiative designed to support coaches across all levels with meaningful, hands-on development. Moving beyond traditional coaching courses, the network offers ongoing learning opportunities through workshops and community meetups. By fostering connection, shared learning, and real-world application, we aim to grow a thriving and inclusive coaching ecosystem throughout the Region.

Whether you're a new coach, a club volunteer, or an experienced coach looking to refine your skills, the NRF Community Coaching Network is open to all. Especially those interested in connecting with peers, learning from experts, and being part of a supportive community focused on continuous growth.
