Coaches, teachers and decision makers in sport will come together again when the Coaches’ Club takes place during the World Athletics U20 Championships Lima 24.
Organised by World Athletics in cooperation with the Global Athletics Coaching Academy (GACA), the Coaches’ Club enables the coaching community to learn in real time from the championship experience.
