BDAA launch new courses

New coaching courses are a success.

BDAA have produced two new courses. “Coaching Disabled People” concentrates on how to coach with disabled people; essential information on planning, terminology, perceptions, and much more.

The second course “Access Awareness” is designed to enable fishery owners, clubs, local authorities what to consider when looking welcoming disabled visitors.

Both courses have been delivered in England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland to a variety of delegates including level 2 angling coaches, instructors, government officials were amazed; commenting “I thought I knew more than I actually did” I didn’t realise what I was doing wrong” “we took things for granted” “A real eye opener”.

Delegates completed work books, micro tasks and practical information gathering as part of the new interactive courses.

The charity leads the field on disability awareness in angling, actively producing new and initiative ways of helping both disabled & non disabled people enjoy angling possibly for the first time.

2008 will see the charity holding recruitment days for volunteers in the midlands, where it will offer empowerment to more disabled people, with training and support at the core.
