Welcome to YAP - The Young Anglers Project

The Young Anglers Project provides coarse fishing coaching for young people in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Our aim is to teach young people of all academic abilites about angling using appropriate classroom and practical sessions.
We work primarily in partnership with the Environment Agency, the Angling Trust, the Three Counties Agricultural Society, Fisheries, Schools,  Local Education Authorities, Social Services and local Police Forces.

Broadly we cater for three areas

Individual tuition – often with young people refered by the Local Education Authority or Social services. This has proved to be very effective at reducing anti social behaviour.

Group tuition – often with schools, this can be purely extra curricular or can lead to the formal N-OCN qualification  ‘Introduction to Angling and the Environment’

Event tuition – with a large pool of tutors we provide fishing tuition and demonstration at large events such as The Three Counties Show, tutoring many hundreds of young and not so young people at every event.
