Matside Coach, the Association’s newsletter aimed specifically at coaches, has been discontinued and will be replaced with a Technical E-Newsletter which will sent electronically to all clubs, coaches, competition officials, volunteers, Commission Members, Area Committees etc. It will also be available on the BJA website as a pdf which anyone could download. Key coach-specific articles which were previously published in Matside Coach will now be included within Matside.

The Technical E-Newsletter will be the main channel for the dissemination of technical information. The wider circulation of the Technical E-Newsletter will do much to improve the dissemination of technical information. We will also send out special editions covering specific issues or when we launch a new activity or scheme and because we don’t have to design or print it, we can react quickly to get information out if the need arises.

The first issue was sent out at the end of August, click the following link if you did not receive it and want to read it online. This first issue is a little late in being posted on the website, future issues will be posted at the same time as they are e-mailed.
