National Governing Body Parkour UK's official London 2012 Inspire Mark Project 'Jump London' which aims to create 500 new Parkour / Freerunning Coaches, Teachers & Leaders is well on target . . .

Next week sees another fully booked ADAPT 1st4sport Level 1 Award in Coaching Parkour / Freerunning course being held by NGB Parkour UK and administered by tutors from Parkour Generations. The course is running out of Moberly Sports Centre in Kilburn, London, from April 10-13th.

Here is an article by London 2012's Inside The Games magazine highlighting NGB Parkour UK and the PKGen coaching team launching the PK Peers programme in Trafalgar Square recently, via the Youth Sport Trust Matalan Sporting Promise Programme. The PK Peers programme is an intiative to encourage and develop young practitioners of parkour in schools across the country through giving them leadership skills and supporting roles within training sessions.

This month we will be running another ADAPT 1st4Sport Level 2 Certification in Coaching Parkour / Freerunning in London, UK, on behalf of the NGB Parkour UK.

The next course for the ADAPT 1st4Sport Level 1 Qualification in Coaching Parkour / Freerunning takes place in London, from April 10-13. 

On Thursday March 22nd we will have a team of coaches at theMatalan Sporting Promise event in Trafalgar Square, running workshops and continuing to support the intitiative as we have since its inception through NGB Parkour UK.

Update just in from Parkour UK: we can now confirm that Decathlon UK have received the stock of the new Vision Parkour/Freerunning shoe, which marks the rebirth of the most popular parkour shoe to date.

So now we get down to the meat n' bones... the ADAPT Level 2 coaching qualification assessments, which run from Monday-Wednesday next week in London. 

After months, nay - years, of planning and preparation, construction and tweaking, London's first and the world's largest purpose built parkour park is now ready to launch!

Today's assessments for the latest candidates for the ADAPT Level 1 Coaching Qualification in the UK went extremely well, with everyone showing great coaching abilities as well as parkour skill and knowledge and coming through with flying colours.
