Level 2 Coaching Riders with a Disability Workshop
The Level 2 Coaching Riders with a Disability is a one day workshop aimed at developing the knowledge and skills of existing disability coaches and supporting those who wish to coach disabled riders for the first time. The workshop will assist coaches with their ability to plan, deliver and evaluate a series of safe, ethical and effective coaching sessions for groups of riders with a disability and be able to integrate individual riders into their existing coaching sessions within level 2 coaching environments.
What are the benefits of doing the workshop:
Upon successful completion of the workshop coaches should become more confident and better equipped when working with riders with a disability. The workshop is a continuing professional development (CPD) module, and you will therefore not receive a qualification, however a certificate of attendance will be provided. As a British Cycling member and licensed coach, you will have access to an impressive list of benefits. These include:
- £5 million professional indemnity insurance
