YAA Coaching Qualification Grants

Thomas Keane - 18 January 2024

YAA has a fund to help towards the costs of coach training and all coaches can apply for this grant. The fund was reviewed and updated at the end of 2023, and a new grant application form has been produced. Instead of the grant just being available on completion of a course, the amount is divided into two parts - one being awarded on beginning coach training, and the second on completion.

Here is the new scheme being offered by YAA.

Fully funded candidates
Where a candidate is fully funded from another source, e.g. own club pays all costs, the candidate shall receive an achievement award from YAA on successful completion of the course. The achievement award shall be £30 for all coach levels.

Partial or non-funded candidates
Where a candidate is either not funded from another source or partially funded from another source, e.g. own club pays travel expenses, the candidate shall receive a grant from YAA as follows:
 Session Coach - £20.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
 Development Coach - £45.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
 Program Coach - £70.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion
 Senior Coach - £70.00 on enrolment and £30.00 on completion

To apply for a grant, please contact the CCO. Evidence of enrolment and of successful completion must be provided. Enrolment payment will only be made on application to the county treasurer and must be endorsed by the County Coaching Organiser.

The updated Coaching Qualification Grant Application form is available here.

National Talent Development Programme, Northern Area

Kath Fitzpatrick - 8 September 2021

I am pleased to say that Archery GB is recommencing the National Talent Development Programme. The Northern area will be hosted by Arrowhawks Archery Academy at Haxby, York.

The first two dates are now confirmed as October 17th and December 12th.

We will be delighted to see any returning athletes as well as new ones, recurve or compound.

Booking places will be through Sport 80 they should be listed under Events.

To help us plan our coach numbers, if you do intend to book a place, I would be grateful if you could let me know. Please feel free to pass this information on to other juniors (under 20) and to contact me if you need any further information, or see our Facebook page:
 Facebook: NTDP North

Archery GB information on the programme is shown below.

Archery GB Performance Pathway
The aim of our programmes is to support the development of athletes through an environment of sporting and professional excellence. The development of athletes' physical, mental, and technical performance attributes are key themes within our programmes, enabling Britain's future archers to maximise their talents leading ultimately to medal success at senior international championships.

How it works
The National Talent Development Programme (NTDP) is fully inclusive. All young athletes who are keen to improve, including those with disabilities, are actively encouraged to sign up. The NTDP is open for any athlete under the age of 20. From 2018, the programme was also extended to compound archers.

The NTDP is the key connect between the grass roots Talent activity of our sport, including OnTarget Performance Clubs and our HCSC (Home Country Sports Councils) Talent Pathway. We piloted this programme in 2012 and it has been highly successful as a means of defining and refining our Talent pool. It is an inclusive programme, with no criteria to register except age.

Archers attend coaching* and benchmarking days throughout the year and are profiled in August at the end of the cycle. Those demonstrating talent against the "what it takes to win" criteria can be selected to the National Age Group Academy, the induction for which takes place each September.

* in 2021-22 the aim is for sessions to be held every two months between October and April, leaving the competition season clear.

Coach licence renewals

Kath Fitzpatrick - 15 March 2021

All coaches need to renew their qualification licence every three years along with their DBS. Please note that these may be due at different times, particularly for those people who have held their qualifications a long time.

Reminders are sent out about your DBS - however, I do recommend making sure this is in your forward diary.

Reminders are not always sent out for coaching licence renewal. If you do receive one it will be by email, so ensure that AGB has your up-to-date email address. You do need to make sure you record when this will be due and send in the form as shown below 6-8 weeks before the due date. Different levels go to different people:

 Level 1 to CCO
 Level 2 to CCO
 County coach to RCO
 Senior coach to National Panel

For L1 and 2 the forms go to a county panel of senior and county coaches. In the case of any appeals there is an appeal panel separate from this. The CCO is currently Kath Fitzpatrick.

For county coaches forms go to the RCO who is currently Danny Cameron.

Senior coaches - forms used to go to the NCO Education. As this role no longer exists there is an annual renewal panel and forms are submitted to the panel chair.

As Archery GB transitions into the new coaching scheme it is possible that this may move to an online process.

I am often asked about CPD.

At L1 currently there is no CPD requirement. However, all coaches benefit from opportunities to learn and develop their skills further.

At L2 there is an expectation of CPD (15 points) and the matrix can be used to calculate these - this is reviewed and can be updated each year.

At County Coach there is an expectation of CPD (20 points) and these now include delivering CPD as well as receiving it.

Senior Coaches are expected to be contributing to national, regional and county developments as well as extending their own learning. A minimum of 25 points is required.

There is a guidance document on the Archery GB website coaching section that clearly explains the process:
 Archery GB: Coach Licence Renewal Guide (PDF)

AGB have also issued a statement on the coach renewal section of the website relating to Covid and the lack of opportunity for coaches to both practise and gain CPD. It is recognised that these are unusual times and renewal panels are asked to treat all renewals sympathetically where there may be gaps. Similarly, where an individual has taken a year out of AGB membership because of Covid, when they rejoin they can also apply to have their coaching licence reinstated by following the renewal process.

There is no reason to delay your renewal due to lack of work record or CPD, so if you wish to continue post-Covid please send it in and we can process it promptly.

Archery GB statement on coaching licence renewal

Archery GB - 15 March 2021

Coach Licence Renewal

We recognise that coaches work hard to achieve their coaching qualifications, and with that a licence to coach in Archery GB affiliated clubs.

We encourage coaches to remain active and maintain their standards of coaching. However, many people are facing challenging work, personal and financial situations due to COVID and being able to dedicate time to coaching has not been possible. We understand this and want to help make it easier for coaches to return to their role when they are able to without feeling penalised or unfairly treated.

We have received a number of enquiries from coaches and County / Regional Coaching Organisers who are concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on coaching. We have shared our responses to these questions below, to help guide coaches and coaching organisers.

What is Archery GB's priority when it comes to coaching?

This is an unprecedented time and our priority is on supporting coaches in archery to keep doing what they love. Coaching is a great means to connect with others and enjoy a sense of wellbeing, for both the coach and the archer.

Many clubs have experienced a significant loss in membership and so it is crucial that they have recognised coaches who can help them rebuild their membership base. Licensed coaches are needed more than ever to provide have-a-go's, beginner courses, and on-going opportunities to be coached in the club.

How is Archery GB supporting coaches?

In the last year we have had to suspend in person training courses and we have worked hard to provide alternative opportunities for coaches to engage online instead. Many of these opportunities can be considered as ‘informal learning' or ‘social learning', which doesn't directly result in a qualification being achieved. However, this does not make the learning any less valid!

Our approach is to encourage coaches to engage in all types of learning; formal, informal and social. This is underpinned by our provision of Learning Curve which promotes the community aspect of coaching, and also how we have restructured our coaching courses into modules, which allows coaches to have more control over what topics they learn about and when.

As an example, we have recently launched the Empowering Archery workshop. This is an excellent stand-alone workshop that all volunteers can access and find useful, and it also doubles up as a module towards achieving a coaching qualification. So, by completing Empowering Archery, you will be one step closer to attaining a qualification, if that is what you want to do.

I have not joined Archery GB this year, but plan to in 2021/22. Will my coaching licence still be valid when I re-join?

When you re-join Archery GB next year, your coaching licence can also be reactivated, so that you can continue coaching from where you left off. When you re-join Archery GB please look at your membership profile to check if your coaching licence has lapsed. If it has, simply follow the usual renewal process via your County Coaching Organiser.

I have been able to continue my development as a coach this year, but mainly through online learning. Does this count towards renewal?

Yes! We are really encouraged by the number of coaches who have engaged with online learning opportunities this year. From joining webinars, online workshops or simply engaging in conversations on Learning Curve; many coaches have been active in their personal development during COVID-19.

We encourage coaches to continue their development through online opportunities and submit this as part of their renewal.

I am a licensed coach and have not been able to coach or invest much time into developing my knowledge this year due to COVID-19. Can I still renew my coaching licence at my current grade?

County and Regional Coaching Organisers are responsible for renewing coaches locally. Archery GB asks County and Regional Coaching Organisers to demonstrate absolute flexibility towards coaches renewing their licence in 2021 and 2022, regardless if they meet the usual requirements or not.

Session Coach - new entry-level coach qualification

Kath Fitzpatrick - 28 February 2021

For archers interested in starting their coaching qualification, Archery GB has released details of the new entry grade of Session Coach, with a series of dates available for the online module Empowering Coaching available on Sport 80 for booking now.

It does not matter which you book onto as only the practical days are locally organised - each module is separately certificated to allow flexibility for candidates.

Empowering Coaching is in 4 sessions for L2 and above or existing L1 wising to move to the next level of Development Coach. The first two sessions form the requirement for Session Coach; sessions 3 and 4 are for existing qualified coaches at all levels.

If you would be interested in taking a Session Coach course please inform the CCO Kath Fitzpatrick (so that practical days can be organised when we are able to offer them) then book onto an Empowering Coaching module via Sport 80.

Any queries please feel free to contact me.
