Coaching
Kath Fitzpatrick - 13 May 2017
YAA Coaching will be running a L1 coaching course at Haxby Scout centre in York aimed at 15-25 year olds - primarily students at school, college or university, or younger employed people. We have 8 places available at a cost of £250.00 each - we can add more, up to 12 in total. The dates are compressed to avoid clashes with exams - 18th, 24th, 25th June with the assessment day on 10th September
For Archery GB members this will provide you with:
The 1st4sport Level 1 certificate in coaching Archery
Archery GB licensed coach status
Non-members may still do the course but will receive only the 1st4sport certificate.
Course organiser is Jean Clarkson - please contact her via email:
Course tutor will be myself. Jean will need your name, full contact details (for uni students please provide home and term time addresses) and deposit.
To do the course you need:
some experience of shooting a recurve bow
to be a minimum of 15 on day 1 of the course
a mentor of at least L1 - we will help with sorting out appropriate mentors
ability to commit to all of the dates
The course has been designed for archers wanting to deliver single archery sessions or a course for beginners.
The full course is 4 days in duration, including the assessment delivered over a period of 12 weeks.
Learners also need to take part in 12 hours of 'supported practice' between day 2 and day 4 of the course. (This is where you practice coaching in your own time, for example at your local club).
To attend the course you need to be:
A minimum of 15 years old by the first day of the course.
When coaching, learners under the age of 18 should be supervised by a legally responsible supervisor.
A deposit of £100 payable to YAA Coaching secures your place, sent to Jean Clarkson, 7 Purbeck Grove, Garforth, Leeds LS25 1HP - or contact me if BACS is easier and I can provide details. The remainder is payable when the course begins and can be made using two cheques post dated to spread the cost.

Dave Phillips - revised 8 January 2017
APPLICATION FOR COACH QUALIFICATION GRANT
At the January 2017 Committee Meeting, the YAA Committee reviewed the YAA Coach Qualification Grant Policy. Based on evidence of claims received during 2016 it was agreed that the September 2015 Policy would be amended to issue Coach Qualification Grants during 2017 as they are received, rather than waiting until 31st of January of the following year.
In line with the paragraph from the original May 2014 Policy, but updated in terms of dates, this revised policy will take effect from 1 January 2017 for coaches qualifying at Level 1, Level 2, County Coach and Senior Coach. Applications for grants from coaches qualifying at these levels in the 12 months prior to this date will be accepted. No applications for grants will be accepted for any coach qualification achieved before 1 January 2016.
In future, retrospective applications will be accepted for Coach Qualification Grants from coaches qualifying in the current and previous calendar years only.
The date of course completion will be taken as the date of the issue of the Coach Qualification Certificate.
This policy will be reviewed throughout 2017, with a view to not exceeding the maximum budget set by the Committee at the January 2017 Committee Meeting. If the amount claimed during 2017 is greater than the budget set, this grant scheme may be withdrawn with immediate effect.
January 2017 Grant Conditions
As with all YAA grants, all applications will be considered on merit by the YAA Committee, giving due consideration to the state of the association's circumstances and finances at the time of considering the application.
The grant is only available to coaches affiliated to the YAA, either through their club or directly, and who operate as coaches in the YAA area.
The application for a Coach Qualification Grant must be made on the application form below and must be accompanied by a COPY of the Coach Qualification Certificate. The completed application should be sent to the YAA Treasurer at the address given in the form. Applications via e-mail are acceptable, providing a copy of the certificate is attached.
With effect from January 2017 the levels of grant available are:
Level 1 - £30.00
Level 2 - £50.00
County Coach - £75.00
Senior Coach - £75.00
