Level 1 Shinty Coaching Certificate. | |
23 December 2008 The Camanachd Association is promotining the newly re-structured Level 1 Shinty Coaching Certificate. This training course will build on the success of the initial Coaching Foundation Course in Shinty which was launched this time last year. So far total of 153 new coaches have completed the course. Graham Cormack, Coaching and Performance Development Manager for the Camanachd Association said “The Camanachd Association is committed to developing the education and development opportunities available for coaches at all levels in shinty. We were delighted to be able to introduce the new Foundation Course twelve months ago and this Level 1 course has now been developed in relation to the United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (UKCC), The United Kingdom Coaching Framework and the principles of Coaching Scotland. The Camanachd Association are undertaking the accreditation process for this course with the assistance of sportscotland. Coaches in other sports who have completed similar courses have benefited greatly and I am sure shinty coaches will be no different”. The course will begin with an evening event in January 2009 and also includes two full days in February 2009. The course is targeted at coaches who have completed the new Foundation course or the previous old style Level 1. This is the first time this course has been run and so places will be limited. |
