Coaching Archers with a Physical Disability (In-person)

To prepare you for this in-person workshop, you must complete the FREE Micro-Course Coaching Archers with a Disability (Part 1) on Learning Curve, in the Training Library.

This two day, in-person workshop is designed to equip coaches and instructors with the confidence and skills to support archers of all abilities in an inclusive and accessible environment.

Developing coaching techniques for archers with challenges related to balance, stance, or strength.
Supporting archers with limited mobility or grip strength in drawing the bowstring.
Inclusive coaching strategies for archers with visual impairments.
Creating a welcoming and accessible archery experience for everyone.
