Here at sportessex we believe in “See the best, be the best” and we
understand that for athletes to perform at their best they need the
best coaches. We know that there are many coaches across a large
variety of sports in Essex all doing their best to improve the
standards of our athletes. But we also realise that being a coach is a
time consuming “job” and that often a coach will feel isolated and
alone. With this in mind sportessex are proud to announce the launch of
ACE
The Association of Coaches in Essex
An
association aimed at bringing coaches from all sports and from all
levels together under one database. Whatever your expertise or sport we
can help you “See the best, be the best”.
The “Association of Coaches in Essex” has been developed to:
* Improve communication to coaches
o Find out where and when courses in your sport are running
o Hear about available funding specific to you
o Let you know about local and national initiatives
o sportessex will remind you when your qualifications, CRB’s
etc are due for renewal
* Tailor the sportessex Coach Education offer

needs led
o sportessex will be able to put on courses/workshops in parts
of Essex where there are significant numbers of coaches
ready to renew
* Support organisations looking to find coaches
o Need help finding volunteer or paid opportunities then
sportessex will be able to link you up with those opportunities
* To inform National Governing Bodies on need of coaching courses in
Essex

in Essex
PLUS
– sportessex have joined forces with Siliconcoach to offer a discounted
price to access and use their new online video analytical application
the “Zone”. In the Zone you can analyse and annotate on uploaded video
clips of you or your players sporting action, then download back to
your PC still pictures of the video to incorporate into a report
format. Clips within the Zone can also be shared and discussed, for
example a coach could have a one to one online coaching session with
their player, or a complete coaching / discussion session with their
team. The Zone also has a full set of Anatomical and Biomechanical
‘lessons’ built into it, ideal to raise awareness of how the human body
works. This section of the Zone, coupled with the Analyse section is a
powerful tool for GCSE, BTEC and A level students studying all sports.
The Zone will work on both PC and Mac and will accept all types of
video format. To take a test drive please visit
