SCC Development Plan
On the 7th February
I led my first coaching session at Ham
Dingle Primary School
in Pedmore as part of my practical experience
for the Level 2 Coaching Certificate. Terry Rowntree was on hand
to help run the session which was of a great help and much appreciated.
It was a great success with the children loving it, well thats
what they said anyway and judging by their screams it was probably
the case.
Their were six
girls and two boys all of varying abilities, but they all had one
thing in common and that was heaps of enthusiasm. It was very refreshing
to see and hugely satisfying. It was one of four sessions, which
will resume on a weekly basis after their half term.
Update - May 2007: I have done for out of six
sessions as part of my coaching experience, the other two of which
I am in the process of planning.

Coaching
update September 2009
2009
coaching has now finished, there were 9 sessions during the
summer held at Wordsley school and once again have been very
successful. Grass track racing formed a large part of the
sessions plus rides in the woods behind which were the participants
favourite part of the evening. Riders who attended
regularly made huge improvements in both their fitness and
skill levels which was clearly evident, with some riders showing
excellent bike handling and determination to be the fastest
around the grass track.
21 New children attending and 4 returning from the year before.
There have been several follow up rides that have had between
4 and 9 people on. All of these have been starting on selected
Saturdays from the Bonded Warehouse.
2 of the Go Ride children have now successfully been out on
proper club runs.
We are now planning to recruit 2 more coaches, update the
CRB checks and first aid training. A key milestone is to get
club mark accreditation (something the committee is now pushing).
More follow up rides will come, a new parental consent form
will allow better flexibility in getting children out and
we are planning on how to integrate young people successfully
into club rides.
We are now about to start laying the foundations for next
years activities, details of which will follow shortly, but
are certainly going to be exciting!!!
A big thank you to everyone involved in the delivery of the
sessions and the support from club members and parents alike.

The Go-Ride attendees came to a presentation evening held
at the Oakfield Centre on Monday September 28th.
Here all riders were presented with a certificate for their
achievements and a small prize.

Coaches
experiences – 2 Kevin Payton
>Just a note to let members of the club know that Tim,
Matt and my self successfully
passed our level 2 coaching practical assessment on Sat 27th
Jan and have submitted our written course work for examination.
Hopefully we should get confirmation of the results in
the next eight weeks.
The work load was much more than I expected. The suggested
learning programme involved three days of study / assessment
in Worcester plus home assignments and coaching practice totalling
94 hours which meant working well after midnight on several
occasions. This is in addition to the three day first aid
course.
For me the course has been both challenging and demanding
but very rewarding. I have particularly enjoyed the practical
sessions with young people and am hopeful that through their
increased awareness of the sport they may in the future be
looking for club membership.
The club will be looking to put on courses to attract
youngsters and a number of plans are being pursued.
I would like to thank the club for their support in this
venture and hope we can all enjoy the benefits.
