upcoming coaching opportunities

Unread post by lesley thirkell »

There are several opportunities for coaches to attend national/regional Continued Professional Development opportunities before the summer season - as well as a clutch of other scottishathletics coaching development days planned early in 2013.

Places are now open for coaches wishing to attend the Regional coach development days on February 2 and 3 as well as the National Coach Development Day on March 23 at Stirling.

Dates and times are as follows:

National Coach Development Workshops:

*February 2 - Scotstoun - Practical Event Group Development Day (various national event group coaches) - 10am to 2pm

* February 2 - Grangemouth - Practical Event Group Development Day (various national event group coaches) - 1pm to 5pm

* February 3 - Aberdeen Sports Village - Practical Event Group Development Day (various national event group coaches) - 10am to 2pm

* March 23 - PEAK, Stirling - Performing on the Day (Prep for Summer Season) - Stephen Maguire & UKA Coaches (10am to 3pm)

The focus for the Regional Coach Development Days is ‘developing the athlete through the technical model, and coaching observation and feedback’.

The format for each session (leading coaches to be confirmed) will be:

Scotstoun and Aberdeen Sports Village Timetables:

10am-10.45am Introduction and Planning

10.45am-11.45am Running mechanics for speed and efficiency

The Coaching Days will be free for paid up scottishathletics coach members and £15 for non-members.

The application form is available as a download here and please return to Jim Goldie at coaching@scottishathletics.org.uk .

Please note that places may be limited due to venue capacity (seminar rooms) so please be sure to return them asap.

*As this is a busy programme based around the limited time available due to the events calendar, any coaches potentially wishing to attend other events where there is a clash, accommodation subsidies may be available. (eg. Aberdeen coaches wishing to attend a Regional CPD day as well as Hurdles Scotland in February etc)
