Continuous Professional Development A copy of the CPD matrix is enclosed to give you an idea of how many points you require for future renewals and how to gain them.

I would like to remind all coaches that in order to renew their coaching certificates in future, they must prove that they are coaching within their clubs, work records will need to be witnessed and signed by a club official.

In addition to attending Sports Coach UK workshops, CPD also involves working with higher level coaches at events and/or training sessions outside their own clubs, usually organised by the CCO, eg coaching days, and junior days.

Working outside your own club environment with coaches from other clubs helps you to gain experience and to keep up to date with changing coaching practices and so benefits your club members. This also helps our County Coaching organisation, which subsidises all coach training. The response for help at previous events over the past few years has been very poor, with the same few coaches volunteering each time, and my grateful thanks must go to them, their help has been much appreciated. It would be nice if other coaches were available to help out too.

The G.N.A.S. Performance Unit is constantly following 'talent' recognition and spotting. The idea is to 'flag' potentially promising archers as soon as possible, to enable them to be brought into the system. Anyone showing promise can be given targets to meet and brought on to Development Squads at an earlier stage where all aspects of training can be covered. At the moment if any coaches out there in the County know of any disabled archers of any age who are showing potential please contact me. It is my job to initially look at these archers and then move forward from there. My counterpart looking at able bodied can be contacted via G.N.A.S. office, but if you know of anyone, particularly juniors please contact me initially and I will attempt contact for you?
