CLUBS
FUTURE COACHES:
As part of a successful club
development plan, every sporting organisation should look at developing young
coaches to safeguard the future development of their club.
This workshop will help you
develop young coach's communication and potential skills in leading a group of
people for a fun and interactive coaching session. The practical nature of the
course enables coaches to experience and evaluate a coaching session led by the
seminar tutors, and also allow participants to deliver a sample session aimed
at developing key leadership skills for warm ups, main activities and cool
downs.
The young coaches aged 14-17
attending the workshop must be supported by an adult coach from their club at
the workshop to help establish a coaching pathway.
It takes place on Monday 10th April 10th in WIT
Sports arena, 6:30pm to 9:30pm. This is a free session but places are
limited and registration is available http://www.eventbrite.ie/e/prepare-your-club-coaches-of-the-future-tickets-33076807622
