The coach school is the heart of the coach education program.
The instructors use up-to-date materials and PowerPoint
presentations to present the discipline-specific coach course.
The registration fee includes a copy of the discipline-specific
coach school student study guide and other materials to help you
with the details of coaching. Participants complete an open-book
test as homework during the first evening of the course. The test
is graded in class, reviewed for understanding, and then submitted
to the NRA National Coach Trainer by the school instructor for
credential processing. Upon successful completion of the coach
school you will be a Coach (Level 1) (or Youth Trainer if under 18
years old) in that discipline. A Coach Credential Card is sent to
the new coach. Please allow 6-8 weeks for processing.
The coach school is two days of sports-specific lessons and
practical coaching exercises designed to teach the coach candidate
the basics of coaching. The following general subjects are
taught:
- Introduction to the Coaching Program
- Safety and Risk Management
- Competition Events
- Rulebook use
- Equipment and Facilities
- Fundamentals of Shooting
- Coaching Ethics
- Coaching Methodology
- Sports Psychology
- Training Planning
- Running Quality Programs
- How To Conduct Tournaments
