In April, the Faroese Confederation of Sports (ÍSF) is organising two coaching courses as part of the education programme of the Danish sports confederation, DIF. The two courses are the first and second parts of what they call Træner 1. These two courses, which ÍSF runs regularly, can also count towards part of the coaching education of Svenska Friidrottsforbundet, with which FÍF cooperates.
Course for coaches of children and young people
This course is aimed at coaches, assistants and leaders working with children and young people. The course will take place on Friday evening and Saturday, 13 and 14 April: Friday evening from 18:00 to 22:00 and Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00. The topics are sports pedagogy, the sporting environment, child development, training, safety and responsibility, and ethics and morals. Much more about this course can be read at this ÍSF link http://www.isf.fo/?p=2259
Course on sport, training and injuries
This course is aimed at coaches, assistants, leaders and athletes. To take part in this course, participants must first have completed the course for children and young people. This course covers basic knowledge of training and physiology, injuries and how to prevent them, and how to train after an injury. This course will take place on Friday evening 27 April from 18:00 to 22:00 and continues on Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00. Much more about this course can be read here: http://www.isf.fo/?p=2246
Some coaches in FÍF’s member clubs have already completed both courses, but the hope is of course that even more will take up the offer. FÍF will therefore pay the course fees for our representatives.
