Online Coach Education

Access to UKU Level 1 coaching materials is FREE for UKU members!

Yes, access is free with Full, Uni/u18, Friends and Family, and Coach memberships! By providing coach education materials free to members we want to help some people take their first steps into coaching, provide easier access to coaching qualifications and offer more support to those who are already coaching. We want players and participants to have a brilliant experience, and coaching is a key part of this.

The free coach education materials form the content of the UKU Level 1 Coaching qualification. If you want to work towards your Level 1 you will need to complete all modules and submit your logbook.

You'll find information about the qualification process on the website when you've signed up for the free coaching material.

Information for getting started

To set you up, we need the email address for a Google Account, which you share with us in "Member Details" on your UKU membership profile. This might be a Gmail address, a Google Workspace/Classroom email address, or a non-Google email address that you have linked to a Google Account. If you do not have a Google Account, you will need to create one. Please remember that you do NOT need Gmail in order to create a Google Account - you can use your existing email.

Access won't be granted immediately, but we plan to update the system several times per week. You will receive an email confirming that you've been added to a Google Group called “Coach Education Online Access” and this contains a link to the website. Please follow the steps outlined below and if you have any problems please see "Troubleshooting".

FAQs

Why can't members with basic membership access this material?

Basic membership is designed for those who only want to play a little (usually locally or regionally), or for those who haven't yet decided if Ultimate is for them (new players at university for example).

Why do I have to use a Google account?

Based on the resources available to us, using Google Groups is currently the neatest way for us to protect the Coach Education Material and to provide access to our members. Unfortunately this means there are some Google-related processes that we cannot control. We're trying to make access as simple as possible.

I've not played Ultimate - is this for me?

This content is specifically designed for people who have experience of playing Ultimate or for non-players with an excellent understanding on the game. We have other courses better suited to those who are new to Ultimate but already have skills in coaching or teaching. If you would like to talk more about what we can offer please email coaching@ukultimate.com.

Still having problems?
