What is Coach Europe 2019?
The very first Coach Europe will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland in October. It will be three days of sharing and development for parkour coaches and parkour community members from all over the continent and beyond. It's an opportunity to test and help shape new ideas in a nurturing environment, and to be immersed in and learn with your host community.
Who should attend?
We are looking for open, enthusiastic, community-minded participants! Any European based parkour coaches, or interested parkour community members, are welcome. All we ask is that whether running a workshop of your own, or attending someone else's, you contribute to the best of your ability and learn from each other.
If you purchase a Full Weekend Coach ticket, we will be in touch closer to the time to see if you would like to get any experience assisting with sessions on the Saturday and/or run some of your own workshops on the Sunday afternoon.
How much will it cost?
Bookings are being taken through this crowdfunder, with prices as below:
Full three day ticket for coaches (Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday): £70
Sun morning Workshop + lunch for non-coaching community members: £30
If you are interested in contributing to Coach Europe 2019 but are struggling financially, please get in touch here, or through the Parkour Outreach CIC facebook page.

The full schedule will be revealed in due course, but for now, you can look forward to:
