A good rule of thumb for a coach is to complete 1 to 2 hours per month. This could be a monthly meeting or a bi-monthly 2-hour workshop. Over the duration of a season, if a coach completed 8-12 hours of coaching, this would be very beneficial to both the coach and the club.
The club can ask coaches what they would like covered by using a survey or questionnaire. The club can gauge the interest levels and topics that are desired to be covered.
Just click on the 'Have a question ?' box and ask for a talk or course to be delivered either online or face-to-face. Try to have a specific date and an alternative backup date in mind.
