MARTIN SOULSBY

Introduction to the New British Skydiving Coaching Structure

Martin Soulsby
Vice President and Chair of the Coaching Structure Working Group

During this seminar, Martin will introduce the new British Skydiving coaching structure, what it will mean to you and how you can start your training to gain the new Foundation Coach qualification and what is next.

Martin explains who the external bodies will be involved in awarding the qualifications – Ofqual, UKCoaching, CIMSPA and 1st4Sport. This will be part of the consultation with existing coaches and members, so please do come along ready to ask questions.

 

About the Speaker

After stepping down after 9 years as Chair of the Association, Martin asked to start a working group to look into a new coaching structure and qualifications.

This became the Coaching Structure Working Group with the remit to improve the overall standard of our coaches, create a journey for our coaches, develop a qualification that would be recognised outside the sport by the wider sporting sector and to improve the skills of our members, as better skills = better skydives.
