Becoming a coach
We host the practical elements of this course only – all booking and operation of the course is provided by ArcheryGB
For each of these courses you will require a mentor. They would usually have been coaching for some time and will be able to provide you support as you progress and gain your own experiences teaching archery. You will also be requried to evidence your coaching as part of the coursework.
The old Level 1, 2 and 3 courses have been replaced with a high level version. While you can teach have-a-go at activity centre with the basic instructor qualification, if you want to do more than this then you need to look at the Session Coach initially. This provides the first step in being able to support an experienced Level 1 or 2 coach running a beginners course at a club level. Don’t expect to complete the course and know enough to teach on your own. This is just the first step and you will need support from an experienced coach. We find that it is best to work with a number of like minded coaches as you will gain a wealth of experience and knowldege this way.
Session Coach
Booking must be made via Sport80 in the usual way with Archery GB Archery GB’s Session Coach course prepares learners to deliver engaging sessions for beginners. This includes the design and delivery of a beginner’s course. It is important than anyone attending a module/course has basic experience of taking part in archery (i.e. beyond a beginner level).https://www.high-endrolex.com/48
