Coaching Summit Series

Home

In response to the demand from coaches for practice-oriented conferences focused on a small number of disciplines, European Athletics launched its Coaching Summit Series in 2008.

A ‘summit' is both a high place or peak and a high-level meeting…and both meanings apply to the conferences in this series. They are designed to bring together top athletes, leading coaches and sport scientists at venues where there is specific expertise or a strong tradition in a particular event.

The programme of each summit includes presentations, practical demonstrations, small group workshops, round table discussions and plenty of opportunities for the participants to discuss all aspects of their event with colleagues and stars from around the world. 

The aim of the Coaching Summit Series is to cover all the athletics disciplines in a two to three year cycle.

European Athletics works closely with and provides financial support to the independent organisers of the summits, thereby assuring participants have a high-quality learning experience.

European Athletics provides scholarships to help Member Federations send coaches to participate in the summits.

Member Federations are eligible for Coaching Summit Series Scholarships as follows:

- 400 CHF if one of your coaches takes part in one of the Series Events

- 800 CHF if two of your coaches take part in one of the Series Events

- 1200 CHF if a third coach takes part in one of the Series Events and if this coach is a woman

Federations that wish to take advantage of this offer in 2020 should send an e-mail to Yannick Morand ([email protected]) stating the name(s) of the coach(es) and the conference(s) they will be attending.
