MINUTES OF THE W.A.C.A. COACHING COMMITTEE MEETING HELD AT NEDLANDS CROQUET CLUB ON SATURDAY 9^TH JULY 2005.

The meeting opened at 4.35 pm with Colin Chynoweth, Sandra Stevenson, Merle Barber and Chris McWhirter present. Apologies were received from Martin Clarke.

GENERAL BUSINESS.

• The Committee partly reviewed the Information Package recently received from the National Coaching Director, and was interested to see that now there is to be provision for coaches who do not have the opportunity to provide coaching, and are unable to accumulate the points necessary for re-accreditation. Quote from the package “The NCD, in consultation with the SCDs, will grant accreditation for these players if they attend a Beginner or Level 1 Coach Training course in croquet specific subjects and attend 2 coach refresher course within the 4 years.” This info package will be discussed further at the next CC meeting.
• The matter of coaches accreditation was discussed. i.e. does a coach remain qualified if they do not renew their membership at their Club. The CC decided that the coach does remain a coach, but at the end of the qualifiying period, it will be obvious that the coach will not have accumulated the points necessary, and therefore will not remain on the current coaching list. Secretary to write to the NCD and advise of the action taken by the CC.
• Coaching Clinics……..The Committee decided to again conduct coaching clinics for coaches this season. There will be two clinics organized, one in the day and one in the evening. Date to be decided. Clinics will be conducted in the City at HQ and possibly at Moorabinda for country coaches. Coaches are urged to attend in order to show on their log book that they are attending the required workshops.
• Clinics for players will also be conducted in the City and country, and dates will be decided for these clinics at our next meeting.
• A budget for the Coaching Committee has been submitted to the WACA.

The meeting closed at 5.40pm, and the members were invited to attend the next CC meeting which will be held at HQ on Friday 19^th August, 2005 at 7pm.
