University Coaching Assistant Training
The University Coaching Assistant provides more entry levels for you to get involved in supporting rowing activities at your university clubs.
The University Coaching Assistant training came about as a result of university rowing clubs identifying that despite a lot of people delivering activity in university clubs, there needed to be a more effective way of succession planning between year groups to ensure that there were enough students with some training in delivering activity year on year.
University Coaching Assistants should be working under the direct supervision of a rowing coach (Level 2 qualified or above).
The training will help you to:
- Identify your role and responsibilities as a University Coaching Assistant.
- Identify the key components in delivering a safe and inclusive session to a group of rowers.
- Identify some of the skills required to deliver these sessions effectively.
- Look at the key skills and technical development in rowing activities.
- Experience rowing activities through video observation.
- Discuss the key skills of a University Coaching Assistant when supporting rowing sessions.
