Warrington School Sport Partnership is constantly striving to identify, deploy and support quality sports coaches across the town. Below are some of the coaches and Development Officers we regularly work with.
Andy Roberts
Andy is a multi-skills and badminton coach (to name a few of his many sports) who works across the town supporting the development of multi-skills clubs for primary aged pupils. He also organises and runs the School Sport Partnership’s Multi-Skills Academies, which aim to help older primary pupils who are demonstrating an early talent in sport to understand how to make the most of this and to develop themselves further.
