Hi chaps

I've received the following information from BOF about setting up some basic coaching in clubs now that the Level 1 coaching course is being discontinued.

If anyone is interested then I'm able to deliver them so let me know and I'll see if we can set something up.

Cheers

JK

Replacing the L1 Orienteering Coach 3-day training and assessment, two half day practical workshops will be available for active coaches to deliver to their club members:

· Coaching to the Start Triangle

o For those who want to help newcomers at events or club activity sessions

o Good practice introductory map walk and star exercise to help people get started orienteering in a fun and interactive way without a lot of ‘talk’ and ‘jargon’

· Route to Coaching

o A progression for those who want to learn more about helping at coaching sessions

o How to give a short safety briefing at the start of a coaching session

o How to lead a ‘fun’ warm-up and deliver a short coaching session from a plan

These workshops can each be delivered in an evening or half day or as a one day introduction to coaching. This flexibility will be less costly in time / money for clubs and will be a good introduction for orienteers who want to help with coaching at their club.
