UK Coaching Framework & Framework England

The UK Coaching Framework (UKCF) is the primary reference point for sports coaching in the UK. It was developed by Sports Coach UK with the aim of making the UK the worlds leading coaching nation by 2016. Framework England is the group created by Archery GB to lead the development and implementation of a specific archery coaching system for England that accords with the principles and aims of the UKCF.

Barry Molsom, Lincolnshire County Coaching Organiser, writes:

As one of the 1st Counties to have signed up to the UKCF, I attach documents which link through to the GNAS website giving information as to where we are up to with the England Framework. We have worked hard to achieve our goal and maintain programme, to help us to keep the momentum going we have now appointed 4 more people in EMAS to help with reviews and implementation of projects. I hope you find the information informative and if any one would like to become more involved in the FE meeting or to help support some of the projects as they come on stream please let me know. If you have any Best Practises you would like to share please send them to me and I will forward them on to our committee who knows there may be some project in them that we could get funding for the wider benefits of archery.
