Background
There is also an assumption that you have;
- completed the first module Welcome to Gymnastics Coaching - Introduction
- commenced the second module Fundamental Gymnastics Coaching Course
- and do not have access to a qualified Club Coach Educator to sign off your On the Job Training Workbook
While we hope in time all clubs will be able to train a CCE role, for those clubs who won’t initially have a CCE, an alternate pathway is available for participants. This involves trainee coaches attending a series of six virtual mentoring sessions delivered by a member of the National Panel of Fundamental Gymnastics Coach Mentors (available after 1 June 2023).
Applicants in this position will still require access to a qualified supervisor to supervise trainee coaches while they are coaching, as they do under the current framework. The core difference opting for this virtual mentoring model is the reduced cost per coach, and virtual delivery instead of face-to-face delivery, compared to the existing coach education framework.
The 6 Mentoring Sessions
- Explore philosophies, roles, responsibilities
- Who you coach
- Where you coach
- What you coach
- How you coach
- How you improve.
Each session runs for approximately 1hr and 30mins.
