FITA Call for Coaches Registration

FITA Call for Coaches Registration

Lausanne - 7 August 2006

As you are aware FITA consistently aims to inform and provide all members associations with educational and working possibilities available in our network. Thanks to the collaboration of many of you we have been preparing a database that allows us to ascertain the situation regarding the level, number and availability of archery coaches worldwide.

In order to maintain this database and our records of coaches’ profiles as well as to have an idea of the growth in the number of coaches within the FITA family, we sent to all continental and member associations the 'FITA Coach Registration Form'.

We would like to invite all coaches that are not registered yet to submit or update their profile by completing this form FITA-CoachesRegistrationForm.doc  and returning it to us at your/their earliest convenience.

We received already more than 20 new registrations and updated profiles!

We would also like to remind you of the possibility of applying for a scholarship for one of your coaches THROUGH your National Olympic Committee to Olympic Solidarity. This is a very interesting programme - FITA has been working in close coordination with Olympic Solidarity and these opportunities are more and more relevant after the opening of the Middle East Archery Training Centre in Cairo (MEAC).

For your information please read the guidelines ScholarshipsCoaches-Guidelines.pdf and application form ScholarshipsCoaches-Application.doc for the Olympic Solidarity Scholarship Programme and the pamphlet of the MEAC PamphletMEAC_29May06.pdf should you be interested in applying or putting forward (THROUGH your NOC) one of your coaches.

We are looking forward to receiving new and updated profiles and being able to help in the careers of our coaches for the good and the development of archery!
