Our members are friendly, and our coaches will be more than happy to fit you into a program that best suits your needs.
Coaches Clinic for Coaches a Huge Success
Thanks to the Coaching and Official Grant Program, a successful coaches clinic for racewalking took
place on November 12 and 13, 2011 at the Edmonton ‘Go Centre’ with experienced coach and instructor
Roger Burrows.
All 15 participants walked away with more knowledge and confidence in their coaching abilities.
Sessions were held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day with instruction on everything from the latest rule changes to new ways of teaching beginners, intermediate and advanced racewalkers. Coaches are now incorporating what they learnt at the clinic into the various classes they teach. One participant from Whitehorse is looking forward to sharing the knowledge with other interested parties in Whitehorse.
We would like to thank the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wlidlife Foundation for this generous grant as we would not have been able to put on this clinic without the assistance of this grant.
New classes are now available on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Besides Wednesday classes at the Kinsmen Sports Centre and Monday classes at Terwillegar Recreation
Centre, a new Racewalking class has been added to St. Francis Xavier Sports Centre on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. See the "Regular practices" section on the right for more details.
