COACHING NEWS
 
The PCAWA State Coaching Panel is pleased to launch the
new PCAWA Funded Coaching Program.
 
 
What is the PCAWA Funded Coaching Program?
 
PCAWA receive Healthway funding for an annual program of Instructional Clinics.
This new imitativeallows Clubs & Zones the opportunity to apply for
financial assistance to host a variety of Coaching Clinics.
These Coaching Clinics will be funded, in part, by the State Coaching Panel.
The amount allocated to a Club or Zone is set by the State Coaching Panel
and subject to funding available at the time of application.
 
 
How do Clubs & Zones apply?
 
To apply for this subsidy, Part A of the attached form must be completed and submitted
to the PCAWA State Coaching Panel.
Clinics must be held between 1st July 2012 and 30th June 2013.
 
Once approval is granted by the State Coaching Panel, Clubs and/or Zones
will be notified of the approved amount.
Once the Coaching Clinic has been conducted, Clubs and/or Zones must completed
the post clinic report, Part B, and forward to PCAWA. Once received
Clubs & Zones will be reimbursed the amount approved.
 
Don’t miss out. Get your applications in early!
 

 
 
 
C Certificates
 
 
 
The State Coaching Panel is seeking to help more coaches gain their
C Certificate examiners' ticket.
These Certificates are carried out at Club level and so Zone and State level
we are not aware of when these exams happen.
 
What we are aware of is that we have too few examiners for what is required to do.
To this end the requirements for being a C Examiner have been reviewed and now
would-be
examiners need only:
Ø produce 1 group of C candidates as opposed 3 groups
Ø draft a typical C exam paper and understudy a C examiner
Ø carry out a C examination under the mentorship of a C examiner
 
To make this happen we need Clubs to advise us (PCAWA) of when you will be
 holding a C examination. If you have had trouble  in the past in finding a C examiner
then we are trying in the longer term to solve that problem but we need your information,
so we can match C examinations with would-be examiners. 
Please let us know so we can focus our effort.

  Coach, Examine & Officiate

Why become an accredited Coach?

Quite simply, coaches deserve to be accredited. They are committed to sport, they voluntarily give of their time and share valuable experiences while contributing to the sporting and personal development of their athletes.

Through the Australian Pony Club Council, the Pony Club Association of Western Australia has been granted accreditation to conduct the NCAS Programme, which is a National scheme, run in conjunction with the Australian Coaching Council.

The PCAWA does not have the authority to vary the requirements, and all candidates must comply with the regulations laid down.

Exemptions from various Topics in the courses may apply, for example if a Coaching Principles Certificate, a Certificate of Equine Management, British Horse Society qualifications, etc have already been attained.

Written confirmation of these qualifications must be presented to the PCAWA when applying to undertake the Level 1 courses.

If you have any queries about attaining any of the PCA-NCAS Coach Accreditation or wish to discuss previous qualifications, please contact the PCAWA office.

Satisfactory completion of these Courses will enable a coach to confidently teach riders at C Certificate level at Pony Club.
