·         Above are listed the current club coaches who are responsible for leading training sessions.  Any of the coaches are willing to give advice on training schedules, running safety, and what to do if injured.

  

·         Training takes place on Tuesdays: there is one session starting promptly at 6.30pm.
Training is at various locations around Flitwick and Ampthill - but usually starting from Redborne School in Ampthill.  Members are divided into 2 or 3 groups depending on ability, under the guidance of the above coaches working in pairs.

How is coaching organised?

The Flyers Committee is responsible for making sure that the club has sufficient coaches and that sessions are delivered properly.

Annie Page

(Level 2 Coach)

Takes the lead on coach recruitment, education and development, and new coach enquiries are always welcome (more info http://www.ukathletics.net/coaches/).

Coaches are encouraged to improve their knowledge and skills and will be supported if they wish to progress to the next Level.

Steve James

(Level 2 Coach)

Prepares a group coaching schedule for the Flyers and this takes account of forthcoming races, time of year, routes, safety etc... 

Ady Wadsworth

(Level 2 Coach)

Allocates coaches to deliver each session and a new coaching schedule is published every three months on the club website and notice boards.

Coaches are consulted about each schedule and will have the opportunity to meet every 6 months to discuss progress.

The club has licensed UKA Level 2 Coaches who are CRB-checked, insured and qualified to coach endurance athletes and deliver sessions. We also have licensed UKA Level 1 Assistant Coaches who are qualified to assist Level 2 coaches.

Coaches re-license every 3 years.

Level 2 Coaches generally take the lead and will check that their are sufficient allocated coaches to deliver the session.

Level 2 Coaches also make sure that their coaching team is properly briefed and that all have opportunities to contribute - it is perfectly acceptable for a Level 1 Assistant Coach to deliver the main part of the session with support from the Level 2 Coach who is present, but only if the Assistant Coach is provided with sufficient notice to prepare.

All coaches are expected arrange a substitute if they are unable to deliver an allocated session, and to keep their coaching team and Ady Wadsworth informed.

The club has many natural leaders who support and encourage their fellow runners when training as groups, and help to ensure that sessions are delivered effectively.

Coaches volunteer their time freely. The Committee is grateful for the time and effort that coaches invest in the club.

Feedback is encouraged from athletes and coaches alike.
