Freefly RobertsonFreefly Robertson  FREEFLY COACHING SEMINARS WILL TAKE PLACE ON 17 NOVEMBER AT ROBERTSON

Everyone that wants to renew their freefly coaches rating, or freeflyers interested in attaining their coaches rating should attend this seminar / training weekend.

One of our biggest issues in AE is that there is absolutely no standard approach to coaching. Everybody does their own thing and there has never to date been a coaches seminar / training in the same way that FS ‘teaches their teachers’. Because of this and because we have brand new mops to learn about and develop into a teaching model all existing coaches have all got to:

a) perform the D-Licence qualifying jump 7 in order to renew their licence before next PASA year (as above) and
b)attend a SSA hosted coaches seminar in order to be able to renew next year.

You need to attend the seminar to enable you to renew your coaches rating. Similar seminars will be hosted annually for the benefit of new coaches, and will be mandatory before coach ratings can be awarded.
