Session Coach (Level 1)

This will be a three day course with a final assessment day. You will need to attend between 9am and 5pm on the first three days. The final assessment day will be a half-day, you will be allocated AM (9-1) or PM (1-5).

You will need a mentor (another licenced coach) throughout the process and will also need to compete at least 12 hours of practice coaching alongside another coach before your assessment day, including at least 3 hours with your mentor.

There will be opportunities to practice coaching beginner courses on Saturday mornings at Southampton Archery Club in February, March & April for those that need help completing their 12 practice hours. Mentors are available too.

There are also two micro-courses to be completed online during the process ('Respect In Archery' & 'Range Safety' ), plus a number of tasks to do in preparation for your final assessment day.

You will also need to complete a DBS check and safeguarding training in order to have your coaching licence granted at the end of the course.
