Club Coaches Desperately Needed !!!
HOW DO YOU GET STARTED ??
See either Chris Betts or any of the coaches (they won’t bite!!),
have a chat about what you can or cannot do, get some kit, then join in on some sessions
that are already going - and have fun!!
Have a look at the following coaches courses and decide which one is for you.
Then enroll onto one of these courses. They only require your attendance and there is NO formal Exam !!!
Upon completion of your course; you will (eventually) be put on U.K.A.’s database, receive a coaching card,
and be invited to some sessions with expert coaches to improve your skills.
You will need to work alongside one of our existing coaches, who will there to help and guide you.
WHO PAYS ??
Gateshead Harriers & A.C. will pay your course fees.
We need you to help our athletes !!
And we can (usually) get grant-aid if we know in time.
Or, you can pay yourself – we do not mind !!!
Later on we hope you will get yourself covered under the club’s insurance policy so that if the worst ever does happen (and we have not had a serious accident requiring an insurance claim yet) you are covered for insurance. This would require you taking either both the above (covered for accidents involving children up to 13 years of age) or a Level 2 course, which requires two days study and to specialize in jumps, throws, sprints or endurance. You will then be able to develop your own group, and (hopefully) see them develop and improve under your guidance.
