    Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm

    UKCC Level 2

    FYI
     

    To remind you that there is a UKCC Level Two coaching course starting on 12th December at Coleg Llandrillo, Colwyn Bay.

     

    Dates are 12th, 13th December and 16th, 17th January. Cost is £200. Minimum age 18 and need to have done UKCC Level One.

     

    We are still getting fairly good numbers for Level One courses but I definitely think we are not getting enough people forward to Level Two. Coaches who are involved in a lead capacity within an age group or those moving up with the ages should be looking to undertake this.

     

    If people are not confident or uncertain of level two but who would like to do it, they could book on and then look to attend a Level One CPD we are running. This would give them an idea and introduction to Level Two. The two dates we have before the Level Two are 9th November for South Province and 16th November for East Province 7pm to 9pm. Confirming venues with Dai Higgs and Julian Ferrari.

     

    If you could pass this along to any coaches who may be interested and if any queries please get back to me or call me on 07733 013060.

     

    Bookings must be made online and the closing date for these is 12th November.
     
    Thanks,

    UKCC Level 1 - Venue Change

    FYI
     

    Just a quick mail to inform you of a venue change for the Level 1 UKCC Coaching Course originally advertised at Shotton RFC on the 14th, 15th and 22nd November. Unfortunately the facilities at Shotton are no longer available and as a result the venue has now been changed to

     

    Elfed High School,

    Mill Lane,

    Buckley

    CH7 3HQ

     

    (Please enter the school via the leisure centre entrance)

     

    There is no change to the course dates.

     

    I hope this does not create any problems and apologise for the venue change at such late notice, however I look forward to meeting you all there.

     

    Furthermore there is to be a coach education evening on Monday 16th November at Denbigh RFC aimed specifically at Level 1 coaches, this is not directly connected to the course in any way but would be good for your development if you attended (but not compulsory).

    Coach Education Evening

    A big thank you to Wrexham RFC and their youth & Under 16 teams who helped assist in what was regarded by those who attended as a valuable evening of coach development within the province. The evening looked at team management and gameplay structure and has hopefully stimulated further discussion amongst the coaches attending.
    These coach education evenings will continue at various venues witin the province, the topics will be chosen by you, so please let me know if there are any topics you would like to look. 
     
    I will let you know when the next date has been planned.

    Coach Education Evening

    FYI
     

    As a reminder, there is a Coach Development evening on Monday 17th August from 7pm to 9pm at Wrexham RFC.

     

    This is a follow on from the sessions previously done but it should be relevant to all coaches and there is no requirement to have attended either or both of the previous sessions.

     

    The topic is Game Structure in the Modern Game.

     

    There will be an outdoor practical so please bring appropriate clothing depending on weather. Hopefully there will be no participation for you, just observation.

     

    If you could advise on attendance to allow a rough number for the evening, that would be appreciated.

     

    Cheers

     

    Tim
