UK Coaching Certificate
The UK Coaching Certificate is
an initiative to endorse coach education programmes, across
sports within the UK, against agreed criteria.
We are now well
into the UKCC with several courses completed in Scotland. Courses
are now available in England
and Wales.
Vaulting is included in the generic Level 1 qualification, together with the British Horse Society, the Association of British Riding Schools, the Pony Club and the Scottish Equestrian Association. We shall offer the UKCC Generic Equestrian qualification at Level 1,tailored to vaulting, then come in with a Vaulting specific qualification at Level 2, 3 and 4.
The difference between this qualification
and any which have gone before is that the emphasis is equally
on the HOW TO COACH skills and the way to make coaching more
rider-centred, as well as the WHAT TO COACH. We hope in
this way to raise the general standard of equestrian coaching
in the UK. This does not infer that the majority of our
coaches do not work in this way at present, as our vaulting
coaching levels have been following the UKCC principles, but
it will enable our coaches, particularly the less experienced,
to raise their game.
LEVELS FOR THE UKCC (Vaulting)
Level 1 is Assistant
to the Coach. Holders of this are only able to work under
direct supervision to take part of a lesson. They are
not qualified or accredited to do more than this, and will not
be insured for more. Technical knowledge will be allied to Pre-novice
exercises.
Level 2 is the general Club coach who can work unsupervised. The technical vaulting knowledge required is around Novice competitive Level and this coach will be able to plan a short series of linked lessons.
Level 3 is the slightly more knowledgeable coach who would be able to run a Club and plan a longer training strategy if required. The technical knowledge will encompass Advanced compulsories and freestyle. They should have the knowledge to train and improve the vaulting horse.
This coach could also mentor
Level 1 & 2 coaches who needed support.
Level 4 is still in development, so watch this space!
