Senior Coach Course Nomination Guidelines.

A minimum of 2 years must have elapsed since passing the Full ABAE Award.
They must be recommended (signed) by Regional Coach. (The nomination form should then be endorsed by the association secretary)
They must be currently registered and belonging to a ABAE affiliated club.


The regional coach will base his recommendations on the following:

Candidate has shown interest in association programme-attended squads or his/her boxers have attended squads (ideally you know them or know of them-they are suitable and know what is involved. It is not an easy course)
Good grades achieved in the assistant/full ABAE course
She/He wants to work outside of their club and eventually become fully involved in the association programme-Coach education (Courses) and Squad training.
‘Producing’ at his/her club –good standard.
Candidates have spoken to their coach and made them aware of what is involved in the senior course not least of all the amount of paperwork involved in producing three projects between the course and before the assessment. The fact that they are assessed over a weekend Friday-Sunday. He course is rigorous, the assessment is thorough. They will need to be up to speed with as understanding of Physiology, Circuit training, variety of running etc a course and all the practical aspects of Boxing Coaching.
The assessment weekend includes seven theory areas and five practical areas.
Programme: Tues 6am-9am/Wed-Fri 9am-9pm/Sat 9am-11.30am

There is a fee for both the course and the assessment weekend.
