Coaching Archers with Hearing Loss - Southampton Archery Club

Saturday 2nd March 2024 - 1pm until 4pm

This workshop is for coaches who want to increase their abilities and confidence in communicating with archers who have hearing loss. If you regularly coach, the chances are that you have coached people who have hearing difficulties already; one in five adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus. This figure may sound surprising, but many people feel uncomfortable discussing their hearing difficulties and there may be no visible signs. Whether or not an individual chooses to disclose their hearing loss with you, there are steps you can take as a coach to reduce participation barriers and improve the accessibility of archery at your club. What's more, the strategies and techniques that you will learn in this workshop will help you be a better communicator, not just for archers with hearing loss, but for all the archers you work with.


Product Presentation - Quicks

Wednesday 20th March 2024 - 6:30pm until 9:30pm

Quicks will have staff available to discuss and demonstrate new equipment introduced by manufacturers this year, and answer your questions, so that you can be up-to-date with products which you can then recommend to your archers. This workshop will be held at Quicks in Waterlooville and there will be no tea-break and therefore no charge for this workshop. If you have attended this workshop before, Quicks ask that you do not attend again and allow other coaches the chance to attend as space in their shop is limited.
