SCHOOL pupils from Waltham Forest have been finding out what it takes to become sports coaches.

A total of ten girls and boys took part in a week-long course run by Leyton Orient Community Sports Partnership (LOCSP) The pupils learnt from qualified coaches before holding their own sessions.

Courtney Taylor-Preville, 14, from Leytonstone, completed the course.

She said: ““I would tell anyone reading this to go and do this course as it is good and can not only help your sporting work but it can help you in life.”

Two more courses will be run later in the summer.
