WSF Launches Coach Education Programme by Howard Harding 18 February 2015
- The WSF Coach Education Programme, the new World Squash Federation
initiative which heralds the start of a worldwide unified and
standardised coaching structure for Squash, will be launched on 2nd
March with the opening of WSF Level 1 coach candidate registration.
Tutor training across the continents began earlier this year, leading
to a number of coaches becoming certified to deliver WSF courses.
Meanwhile registration for candidate WSF Level 2 and 3 comes on stream
later.
The courses will include agreed core-content and delivery methods to
ensure that standards are uniform and qualifications achieved are
recognised not only in the coach's own nation but worldwide too. Course
registration will begin on 1st April.
"An expansion of the number of coaches who can help development of the
sport generally and support elite encouragement is invaluable," said
WSF President N Ramachandran. "We are achieving this via a robust,
modern, uniform and transportable worldwide coaching system."
Charged with coordinating the Programme on behalf of the WSF
Development and Coaching Committee, Michael Khan explained: "Through
the Member Federations linked to the WSF Regional Course Managers, we
look forward not only to providing a high standard unified structure
that benefits well-established nations who already administer excellent
courses, but also support for those nations which are thirsting for
help too."
