The role of a Community Activator Coach is to play a key part in supporting healthier communities, focusing on improving the health and well-being of the nation. They create a positive environment that supports people, especially young individuals, to grow and develop through sport and physical activity.

"The community activator coach fits perfectly with our needs and provides all-round competencies required of a coach to work for us. Sport Structures deliver this to their usual high standard and offer excellent support and guidance to us as the employer and the apprentice. Sport Structures have added further value to the standard by including the level 2 certificate in supporting learning in physical education and school sport which is brilliant for us. We are super pleased to be working with Sport Structures and we hope to continue working with them for the foreseeable future!"
