Scottish Cycling and sportscotland both work to support and develop cycling clubs and aim to create and implement a coaching system in Scotland that will develop coaches capable of supporting and developing riders at every level of the pathway.
To cultivate a Scotland where sport is a way of life it is critical that we build the value of coaches in our sporting system. We are growing our stock of knowledge and expertise in order to continue recruiting, support and recognising quality coaches
Therefore, despite funding cuts, we are still offering substantial subsidies to coaches for UKCC coaching courses in Scotland. The new subsidies levels are in the table below.

Level 2 subsidy is more than Level 1 subsidy to support and increase the number of coaches going through the pathway. That said, Level 1 is still the first step in the coaching pathway and where the coaching journey will officially begin.
