TRAINERS
Great question, what is the school trainer program?
This program was created to support our schools, and their trainers (Level III’s), in supporting their staff. At the start of each season, schools send a list of their trainers to register for the program.
Content for the season-long training is set and trainers are able to participate in any, or all, the sessions. Through this program, trainers come away with information to take back to their school to support their training in things such as movement analysis, technical understanding, observation, evaluation, prescription, review of national standards and interpreting them, to name just a few.
