Paddle UK SUP Coach Training (Sheltered Water)
£220pp
What is it?
Run over 2 days the Discipline Specific Training (DST) focuses on HOW to coach the WHAT (discipline specific skills) and WHERE you will be coaching. The training explores how to coach technical and tactical skills. The course will help you to plan and deliver safe, enjoyable, progressive coaching sessions and explore specifics to help you coach typical learners in the Sheltered Water Environment on a SUP. There are no formal Personal Performance Award or Safety Award requirements, however, to get the best from your course you need to feel comfortable on your craft and be able to independently paddle on sheltered water. We recommend holding a Personal Performance Award such as the SUP Sheltered Water Award (or equivalent)
What can a SUP Coach do?
The Coach Award is designed for you to support your coaching paddlers who want to gain/improve paddle-sport skills. It is not aimed at teaching first timers as such in some scenarios.
You will coach SUP in the sheltered water environment. This will include coaching beginners relatively new to the sport, or paddlers looking to develop their skills, or even experienced paddlers.
As a Coach you can work independently or you could be deployed by a club, centre or organisation. Being a SUP Coach allows you to design coaching to support their learners and provide Paddle UK Awards and Training such as:
-
Personal Performance Awards – for example the Start Award, Discover Award, Explore Award and SUP Sheltered Water Award.
NB: the prerequisite for this course is to have acquired the 2 day CORE COACH award, and have PUK Membership. Once these are complete and you have completed the Coach E-learning, you will be viable to proceed to assessment.
Paddle UK Certificate upon completion.
