Cycling Ireland Tutor Training Opportunity

 As part of the Coaching Development Programme for Ireland (CDPI) Coaching Ireland, in partnership with Cycling Ireland, train tutors.  Tutors play an enormously important role within every National Governing Body, specifically in the design, delivery and review of coach education programmes. Their influence is immense and their responsibility to improve the number of coaches and the standard of coaching is a challenging and deeply rewarding one.  Cycling Ireland Tutors play a pivotal role in the delivery of our Coach Education Programme.  With the recent development of our Coach Education Programme Cycling Ireland is looking to expand our Tutor workforce to facilitate this expansion.  Click here for more information..

 Cyclist Coaching Questionnaire

Attention All Cyclists

Cycling Ireland is currently in the process of reviewing the whole area of Coach Education and Provision.  In order for this review to be successful it would be very useful to get some feedback from Cyclists on the ground to see what the trends are with coaching provision in Ireland. 

I have put together a very simple questionnaire for Cyclists to fill out, will take no more than 5 minutes to complete.  The feedback from this questionanaire will be very beneficial for Cycling Ireland so that we can take a holistic look at Coach Education based on the needs of the Coach and the Cyclist themselves.

I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to fill in the questionnaire.  Should you have any queries in relation to this questionnaire or any other matter relating to coaching please do not hesitate to contact me.

New Programme

 SUBWAY® Sprocket Rocket Programme 

Cycling Ireland is about to launch a brand new youths cycling skills based programme called SUBWAY® Sprocket Rocket.  The Sprocket Rocket Programme was originally developed by BMX Australia.  

Sprocket Rocket is a foundation Cycling Skills Programme which focuses on delivery to youths aged 7 to 11 years old but can actually be delivered to anyone of any age.  The SUBWAY® Sprocket Rocket Programme focuses on 4 main skills; Cornering, Pedalling, Braking and Balance. 

In order to start the process of delivery and rollout of the SUBWAY® Sprocket Rocket programme we are looking for clubs and coaches that would be interested in running and delivering the New SUBWAY® Sprocket Rocket Programme.  At this stage we are merely looking for expressions of interest from clubs and coaches that might like to get involved in this exciting new initiative.

Coaching Audit

Attention All Coaches

 

Over the coming months Cycling Ireland will be turning its attention to the area of Coaching and Coach Education.  The first stage of this process will be to set up a comprehensive Coaches Database.  This will hopefully be achieved through an online Coaches Questionnaire that we will be asking every coach to fill out.

The information from this questionnaire will also be used to assist the development and expansion of the Cycling Ireland coaching pathway but will also be used to improve services to cycling coaches, through clubs or directly.

In order for this first stage to be successful it is imperative that as many coaches as possible fill out the coaches questionnaire or you may run the risk of being excluded from the Coaches Database.  I appreciate that this requires a little bit of time to complete but I think this is an opportunity to get some detailed information on the whole area of coaching with a view to developing it over the coming months.  The questionnaire is online and should only take about 5 minutes to complete.

Coach Questionnaire

 

I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to fill in the questionnaire.  I very much look forward to working with you and for you as coach education officer over the coming months.


Should you have any queries in relation to this questionnaire or any other matter relating to coaching please do not hesitate to contact me.
