Intro to Coaching ITF Taekwon-Do
Dear Instructor
The next Introduction to Coaching ITF Taekwon-Do Course, will take place through a blend of online learning and in person training. We have re-designed the course programme for delivery in a manner that minimises the risks associated with Covid 19 and that complies with current regulations under "Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19".
The course format will be:
Session 1: Saturday 7th November, 5-7:30pm (Online)
Session 1: Saturday 21st November, 5-7:30pm (Online)
Session 3: Saturday 12th December, 10am - 5pm (In Person)
'In Person' session will be dependent on the prevailing level of restrictions at the time, and may in all reality be later in December or January. The move to have the country at a low level of restrictions for Xmas suggests that we may have a window of opportunity to finish our course in the weeks around Xmas.
We will deliver the online portion of the course through Google Classroom and Zoom. The 'in person' day will be delivered by our coach developers with all learners working in Pods of no more than 6. We will not have live participants for the practical coaching sessions and will rely on peer to peer coaching. All participants will be required to complete a Covid 19 questionnaire and declaration prior to attending the 'in person' training day.
The venue for the 'in person' practical session cannot be reliably confirmed at this stage but provisionally we will use Shannon Taekwon-Do Club:
Shannon Taekwon-Do Team
Unit M1A
Smithstown Industrial Estate
Shannon
Co. Clare
V14 X329
