TheWSF
Coach Education Programme, the newWorld
Squash Federationinitiative
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,"saidWSF
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
Khanexplained:"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."
