Coaching in Your Region

Local Coaching Panels are the forum for coaches in an area to discuss local coaching needs and developments.  A place where clubs can find support and where local views can be discussed and as appropriate passed on to the Coaching Committee.  The Panels are chaired by the RCO for the region.  Panels are a good place for individual coaches to share ideas and to get support from other coaches for their own development.

Coaching E-group

The SCA has introduced a series of e-groups to enable communication amongst SCA coaches in a region.  Members can sign up by following the instructions on the regional pages of the SCA website and can then send emails to the group for others to receive.  Members can unsubscribe from the group at any time.  Messages should be relevant to coaching and the region.  Examples include places on a local course or trip; details of an upcoming meeting or event, information about local paddling venues, coaching opportunities, mentoring opportunities or second hand equipment for sale (must be paddling related and non-commercial).  E-groups should not be used in order to actively advertise commercial courses.  The SCA already provides this service on the SCA Website for all authorised courses. 

To join the group for your region, email sca.lists@canoescotland.org leaving the subject blank and type subscribe region in the message body.  Once subscribed, to send an email to the list email region@canoescotland.org where "region" is the region you live in (grampian, highland, lothians, dumfries, strathclydeeast, strathclydewest, central, borders, fife, tayside).  Subscribers will receive a confirmation.  If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 hours please contact coaching@canoescotland.org and your email will be added manually.  Members are required to observe our acceptable use policy to ensure that this facility continues to be available to all.

Regional Panel Information

RCO: Steve Linksted, email, phone: 07710 415539

Next forums will be 17th May 2012, 1930 and then September. 

Forums take place at Stirling Canoes, Cameron Court, Whitehouse Road, Stirling, FK7 7SP.

The idea behind the coaching forum is to have a fairly informal meeting where the region's coaches can come along and ask anything they like regarding the coaching scheme, qualifications, updates, the SCA and so on.  There may be one or two topics that will be discussed or presented by us, such as updates on courses, conferences, funding etc - this will obviously change at each event depending on what is happening in the world of coaching, but I intend to leave the floor as open as possible for your questions.  There will be opportunity to discuss the content of the update that we will be running later in the year, so if yours is due this year or has lapsed, come and let me know what you would like to see included.  

There is no charge for this event, and I intend to hold 3 a year in September, January and May.  There will be tea, coffee and biscuits available, so please come along, put a face to the name, and hopefully have a useful & enjoyable evening too.
To get an idea of numbers, please try to let me know if you're coming along - it's not essential, so if you can suddenly make it on the night, then please do!  Email RCO.Central@canoescotland.org
