2025-08-16 09:00 - 17:00 | York Railway Institute Judo Club, York Gymnasium 22 Queen Street, York, Yorkshire, YO24 1AD, England
This module is designed to help club coaches teach club members the basics of coaching, officiating and refereeing to a level where the member will be able to assist the coach in a club environment at pre licenced events. The club members will generally be taught in their own club, it is expected that Kanji referees, officials and coaches will be able to contribute to club based coaching sessions and in house events once trained. Those coaches, officials and referees who wish to take the licenced pathways later in their career will be at a significant advantage in the formal education process which will enable them to progress through the licenced pathway for all disciplines more swiftly than they may of done so without the Kanji training.
Only level 2 coaches or above can lead the tutoring, level 1 coaches can attend to act as assistants.
