Manor Park in Malvern looks great in the snow but it is not what the coaches want to see!
Before the snow disrupted life on court the county put on a Coaches Fourm - on 14th January - which was attended by 23 coaches from Herefordshire & Worcestershire. The biggest attendance yet! The morning started with an off-court session lead by Tennis Development Officer, Rory McCutcheon and supported by Tennis Services Assistant, AnnieBurford which covered
- Growing your workforce
- Tennis Leaders Course
- County support for clubs
- Schools offer
- Internal results spreadsheet
- New County e-newsletter & communication
- Talent ID Update
Richard Marklow then ran a 2-hour on-court session covering
- Growing and retaining members in your club
- Motivating adults through Cardi Tennis
There was great feedback from the coaches and hopefully, while they cannot get outdoors to coach, they are planning how to use what they learnt from the Forum! Resources are being circulated to the coaches who attended.
