Get Fishing Event Support Volunteer
This is the entry point for anyone new to the world of coaching. Whether you are young or old, if you have limited knowledge of coaching or want to provide more support to your club or fishery, then this is the course for you. You must however hold a basic level of angling knowledge and skill in your preferred angling discipline.
The Event Support Volunteer Award course is designed to support those who wish to offer voluntary help at Get Fishing Award events and provides an introduction to step into coaching.
The course is free to the first 100 attendees as it is supported by funding from the Environment Agency rod license income that is being reinvested to develop new anglers. After the first 100 it will be a chargeable course and this cost is TBC.
Duration of the course will be three hours, delivered in an online classroom format and covers the following:
Roles and Responsibilities, understanding risk assessments and managing health and safety, working as part of a team, understanding the Get Fishing campaign and supporting interventions, practical coaching skills including activating, delivering and reviewing sessions, how to instruct and explain, how to demonstrate, how to give praise, how to use open questions to support learning, how to keep young people safe, identifying types of abuse and how to report concerns.
