I hope you found the last edition useful and informative. Over the past 3 months, we at WASP have been busy producing the first round of Coach ID Badges in which I am pleased to see a good number of coaches achieving the MSD in order to obtain the ID Badge (see page 2 for the full article). I am pleased to announce that our 2nd Coach Development Day was a huge success with over 100 coaches attending with all positive feedback received (see page 3 for the full article). We have summarised with your feedback the impact of the Coach Education programme from last year and are pleased to see many positive comments and how these courses have impacted your coaching in the form of new skills & knowledge and an increase in performance from your participants. The new Coach Education programme 2011-2012 is now available and again with your feedback we have tailored the programme to suit YOUR needs. (full course list on page 8-9) 3 of the WASP team were lucky enough to see and touch a prototype of the London 2012 Olympic Torch in Salisbury on 8th August where it was on display by Lloyds TSB to promote ‗Nominate an Olympic Torchbearer today‘. I am very excited to announce that I have been lucky enough with thanks to my colleague Cassie Reid in being nominated to carry the torch myself in next years relay. I find out in December whether I have made it through to the next round, so keep your fingers crossed for me! Work is also underway in organising a Club Development evening in November where we will provide sports clubs with support in achieving Clubmark Accreditation. We are also starting to implement another of SE‘s new initiatives ‗Sport Makers‘ which aims to inspire, recruit and deploy 500 people in Wiltshire & Swindon aged 16+ in voluntary opportunities for over 16‘s, to make sport happen. Remember this is your newsletter, so if you do have any feedback, comments or any topics you would like to see covered please do let me know!
