World Skate invites input on its first Coaching Development Strategy

June 29, 2023

Sport /

World Skate is inviting all skateboarding community members to have their say on World Skates’ first Coaching Development Strategy through an online survey.

The strategy aims to build the capacity and capability of the skateboarding coach workforce through accessible learning opportunities to facilitate the support, development, recognition and accreditation of coaches and coaching courses.

Community input is crucial to help World Skate understand the landscape of coach development and the survey covers a range of areas including the needs of current and prospective coaches, challenges that individuals or national federations may face and what the priority actions should be in the coming years.

Responses will be used to inform the development of the strategy and will help to ensure World Skate has heard from the whole range of voices in the skateboarding community.

The survey can be submitted by completing the following form by 5pm CEST on Tuesday 4th July 2023 and will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Responses will remain anonymous.
