Some programme areas are of specific interest to our MNA's in helping to develop a National Learn to Sail Training Programme, especially for MNA's wishing to gain ISAF Recognized Training Accreditation for their National Training Programme. Contact must be made with the relevant National Olympic Committee (NOC) to get approval for application. Specific details can be sent out by the Training and Development Manager at ISAF.
- Olympic Solidarity World Programmes - COACHES
1. Technical Courses for Coaches programme (short term) - This funding (Maximum of $12,000 USD per course) can help fund a Technical Course for training Coaches, to equip potential MNA NTP Coaches with the skills needed to teach dinghy sailing to complete beginners and to run an enjoyable, educational, structured syllabus within a National Training Programme Structure.
Level 1 Technical Course for Coaches = National Course for entry level Start Sailing Coaches capable of teaching sailing up to a moderate standard (ISAF Level 3 Learn to Sail).
Level 2 Technical Course for Coaches = Regional Course open to participants from more than 1 MNA, aimed at Coaches who will go on to 'Train' future level 1 Coaches within an MNA National Sail Training Programme.
Level 3 Technical Course for Coaches = Regional Training Course open to existing MNA Racing Coaches and Learn to Sail Training Coaches from that region who have been identified by their MNA National Training Manager or Youth Development Co-ordinator as potential Intermediate Racing Coaches, responsible for identifying talented young sailors and working with the National Race Squad to develop their skills so that they can one day compete at international level competitions.
2. Olympic Scholarshisp for Coaches programme. Sports specific training (option 2) - This medium term funding can be applied for to be used to help develop a particular individual coach - Coaching and managerial / organisational skills will be developed. Candidates would be funded to take part in an extended programme, The ISAF Training Scholarship, where the individual would graduate an 8 week course in the UK with all the relevant qualifications and knowledge to enable them to return to the MNA and deliver high class training and grow the National Programme from a senior position of responsibility within the MNA.
3.Development of National Sports Structure - This funding ($25,000 - $30,000 USD) will help an MNA chosen by the NOC to develop mid to long term action plans for the development of their National sports and coaching structure. Ideal for an MNA with a proven record of success at attending international events and regattas but without much of a developed National Coaching structure in Sailing.
