Professional providers

This can be an individual or an organisation. Professional providers are generally specialist in one sport. The specialist will either travel to clubs providing their coaching skills or will have a club which performers travel to gain this expertise. Anyone claiming to be a professional provider must have the relevant qualifications, be licensed by the governing body for their sport and have CRB checks.
