SUMMARY:British Canoeing Core Coach Training

It is not specific to any one discipline and will make use of a variety of craft to explore different approaches to coaching and introduce some core coaching skills. The course will be a blend of classroom and water-based activity; and you will also be supported a personal coaching development plan to enable you to take your learning into practice after the course. \n\n\n\nSubsequent Discipline Specific Training will then focus on how to coach discipline-specific technical and tactical skills\, helping coaches to plan and deliver safe\, enjoyable\, progressive coaching sessions and explore specifics to help coach typical athletes/learners relevant to the discipline. \n\n\n\nYou can find more details about the course at https://www.britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/level-2-coach-award/. \n\n\n\nYou need to meet the following prerequisites before attending the course: \n\n\n\nFull ‘on the water’ membership of Canoe Wales / British Canoeing (etc.); andA base level of knowledge about the discipline(s) you wish to coach.\n\n\n\nMinimum 4\, maximum 12 candidates. \n\n\n\nThe course fee will be £200 which includes coaching\, equipment and certification. I may be able to refund an element of this fee if enough candidates attend \n\n\n\nWhat to Do Now\n\n\n\nContact me as soon as possible if you have any questions.Complete and return to me (by e-mail or post) the attached Booking Form.Pay the course fee of £200:by buying a ‘ticket’ using the link belowor contact me for other methods\, e.g. let me have details if your employer or another organisation is payingArrange Full ‘On the Water’ Membership of your ‘Home Nation’ Governing Body\, if you don’t already hold this (join Canoe Wales online\, if you live in Wales\, using the ‘join now’ button at https://www.canoewales.com/).Let me know if you are able to bring your own craft (I can supply most\, but if you have your own kayak\, in particular\, you might prefer to use it instead of my dodgy ‘club’ ones!).If you’ve not done any coaching before (or would like a quick refresher)\, the Paddlesport Instructor eLearning resources are worth a look and free to access: https://www.britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/paddlesport-instructor-elearning/.At some point before assessment as a Coach\, you will need to both register formally for the Coach Award with your Home Nation Association (cost £45) and complete Coach Award eLearning (which you can access directly via this link by paying £20 or by completing the formal Coach Award registration now using your Home Nation’s online membership portal – contact me if you need advice or assistance with this!).\n\n\n\nCourse Cancellation Policy\n\n\n\nIf the course is cancelled by me\, I will offer a choice between transferring fees to the next available course or receiving a full refund.
