A joint World Boccia Coach Level 1 Course is a new course developed by World Boccia which gives member Federations the opportunity to train local coaches using their National Curriculum and includes the World Boccia Coach Level 1 Course as one of the modules, delivered by World Boccia´s international tutors.
The Coach Level 1 course provides a wide range of knowledge and understanding of fundamental coaching principles (how-to-coach) and develops an understanding and application of the techniques of boccia (what-to-coach) in safe, appropriate, progressive, and fun coaching environments. The main outcome is to develop creative, competent and confident coaches.
World Boccia members can host World Boccia Coaching courses which are delivered by World Boccia International Coach Educators. We will be sending more information out about this soon.
