40 coaches this weekend began working towards their Level One: Club Coach qualification.
This course is the stage two qualification on IABA’s Coach Education Pathway, after Fundamentals: Assistant Coach. Any coach with a Fundamentals qualification can undertake Level One qualification after 6 months.

In order to train as an IABA boxing coach, participants must be club members, in good standing and have undergone Garda Vetting/Access NI checks, and Safeguarding learning.
Since the introduction of the revised IABA Coach Education Pathway in 2022, over 600 people have begun their coaching careers. Level One education was launched in quarter two this year.
