KIDS AND SCHOOLS COACHING

WELCOME TO THE ACA KIDS AND SCHOOLS COACHING WEBPAGES

PROPOSED ACA NATIONAL SCHOOLS COACHING SYSTEM

OVERVIEW PAGE

PART OF A WHOLE OF LIFE LEARNING APPROACH,
FROM PRE-SCHOOL TO SENIOR

PREPARED BY :
Lowen Clarke B.A.(Melb.), B.Divinity, Grad. Dip. P.W., M.App.Sci.(Org.Dyn.)  Level 3 Coach, MPIO
National Director of Schools Coaching,
Australian Croquet Association

HOPES FOR THESE WEBPAGES :

The webpages are a mix of some rationale, and some discussion, but they are mainly attempts at samples of documentation of programs, marketing and methods of making Schools Coaching work. We will need written programs, and video. In these webpages I am trying to push us to programs.

There is a National Schools Coaching Advisory Committee, and the members of it have checked over the material sufficient for it to be able to now be available for general discussion.  I am grateful to the members for their kind help and responses.

The ACA Executive have also perused the material, and are kindly allowing it on the ACA website to generate discussion.  I am grateful to them for their support.

Clubs and Club members responsible for Schools have already been very active in approaching Schools to get programs going, and I hope that the material they use will also be on this website.  The work done in Queensland with Gateball is wonderful.  South Australia have worked on great initiatives in Golf Croquet.

We are at an exciting moment in the history of our sport.  Please comment on the ideas and help us build to useable material and idea sharing.  Clubs can adopt as much of it as they need.
