Given that much has been posted on the HPL threads with regard to the standard of coaches in BC, I was wondering what peoples views are with regard to our preesent coaching courses.
I suspect many of us here have attended several of these courses and I'm interested to get peoples feedback/opinions. Could it be an area that should be improved? Do they cater for ALL levels of coaches. Do B and A license coaches have to do continuing education courses in order to maintain their license? Should they have to?
Interestingly I see Jeff Tipping recently resigned from his job at NSCAA. He was the driving force behind the development of many of their coaching courses that are now respected worldwide. The CSA don't have a TD at present (as far as I know) and if I were them I'd be getting in touch with him asap. He was a guest coach at the last BC Soccer Conference and was superb. He would be the man to overhaul our present coaching syllabus if you ask me.
Look forward to your input.
