The Regional Coaching Organiser’s play a vital role within paddlesport coaching in England. They form a key communication connection between the English Coaching Department and the wider membership, through links with their Local Coaching Organisers, Canoe England Senior Development Officer, English Coaching Management Committee, and their Regional Development Team. In short these volunteers help Coaching within Canoe England progress in a way that fits the wider membership!
The main tasks of the RCO’s are:
-
Represent the needs of coaches within their region at English and UK policy making committees
-
Communicate English Coaching Matters to the members within their region through the Local Coaching Organisers
-
Co-ordinate the provision of Coach Update and Coach Education opportunities
The role of the Regional Coaching Organiser will vary dependant on the time of year and the period of time an officer has been in place, and their personal skill set
