Coaching

A full programme of events will be announced soon. To suggest ideas or request specific activities visit our facebook page and join in the discussion or speak to a committee member

‘Informal’ sessions have been dropped due to feedback.
The coaching which is listed on the online coaching calendar will go ahead. These have been timed to give Academy members the best chance at the up and coming comps.
  
Formal sessions from now cost:

• £20 per hr
• 1-2 £15 per hr per person
• 1-3+ £10 per hr per person

• Please book this directly with Rob having already sorted into groups.
• If you would like to book a formal session to learn to lead then team up into groups of no less than 2 and no more than 4 (3 is perfect) and get in touch with Danny or Nate via email. These will cost £20 for 2 hours per group.
• Please be mindful of our limited availability and feel free to use other instructors and venues.
• Club trips away will be run at cost divided by number of people on trip.
