Our Coaches

A coach plays a crucial role in any sport, including pétanque, by helping players improve their skills, build confidence, and achieve their goals.

Our Coaching Commission

Aimed at improving the standard of play across the country, our Coaching Commission has a network of qualified regional coaches across the country.  These trained coaches are all DBS checked to work with children and vulnerable adults, and double as Youth Development Officers, working closely with our young players through a series of carefully calibrated skills pathways.
