EPIC Training

Education Pole Instruction & Coaching

The EPIC Qualification Programme was created as a response to the rapid and widespread growth of the International Pole Sports Federation, it's national governing bodies and the discipline of Pole Sports around the world. The success of Pole Sports has led to people attempting to imitate the movements of the sport without adequate training, understanding and/or preparation. The IPSF have continued their work with SportAccord and recognition for Pole Sports around the world with the introduction of the first Pole Sports Coaching courses.

A body of highly experienced practitioners, including several of the founders of the art of Pole Sports, gathered together to create a set of coaching standards by which practitioners could qualify to pass on the fundamental principles and movements of the sport accurately, safely and competently. Pole Sports, if practiced well, can be an amazing vehicle for developing physical and mental fitness, toughness and all-round capability. As with any athletic discipline, however, if practiced poorly or without proper guidance the results can be negative and/or harmful.

The EPIC qualifications ensure that any individual who wishes to coach others in the art of Pole Sports will do so in a knowledgeable, professional, competent and safe manner. The global network of EPIC coaches also gives a new coach an existing resource of highly experienced coaches and coaching bodies to support him or her in their development as a coach.

The aim of the EPIC coaching courses is to make Pole Sports accessible to any and all who want to learn around the world, bring the incredible benefits of Pole Sports to a much wider demographic.
