It has been some time since FÍF last organised a coaching course. In 2006 work began on a Swedish youth coach education programme, which has three levels: 7-10 years, 10-14 years and 14-17 years. The first two courses were held in November 2006. For one reason or another, things then stalled. Preparations have now been under way for some time with the Swedish Athletics Federation, and the course covering training for 14-17-year-olds is now ready to launch.
From the coaching course in 2006. Svangaskarð in the most dreadful storm imaginable. But Heri and all the others kept their spirits up 😉
The course will be held in two rounds. The first round will be on the weekend of 1-3 April, and the second round on the weekend from 29 April to 1 May. To receive a certificate, participants must attend on all days. The programme for the second round has not yet been set, but the programme for the first weekend looks like this:
- Friday evening 19:00-22:00 Theory at the ÍSF building
- Saturday morning 9:00-11:00 Weight training at Yndi
- Saturday 11:30-14:00 Lunch and theory at the ÍSF building
- Saturday 14:30-17:00 Running coordination at Tórsbreyt
- Sunday morning 9:00-10:30 Jumping coordination at Tórsbreyt
- Sunday 11:00-12:30 Theory and close – the ÍSF building
The second weekend can be expected to look much the same. Daniel Bergin and Kim Johanson will lead the courses. The former also ran the courses in 2006.
The next day in the sports hall in Hoyvík was more comfortable. Here it is Bjørk trying the high jump.
There can be up to 20 participants on the course. It has been decided that the three most active clubs, Bragdið, Hvirlan and Treysti, can initially register 5 coaches each. Frælsi, Hvistan and Roysnið are invited to send two coaches each. Depending on how registrations go, some clubs may be able to get an extra participant.
It is important to register in good time. The books have arrived, and participants must read/look through the book before the course. Participants who did not attend the 10-14 years course must also read the book that belonged to that course, so once again: let us know in good time so that you have time to read the books.
All the participants last time together with all the demonstrators.
