In order to take National Association Coaches and National Club Coaches (for those clubs with EKF Club Membership) through the 2 documents, we will be holding a workshop on Saturday 29th June 2019 10:00am – 2:00pm. The workshop will provide the opportunity to discuss the documents and importantly Coaches will be taken through the ‘Fighting Fundamentals’ as set out in the EKF Performance Framework document. We will also take the opportunity to reflect on progress made since the 27th October 2018 National Association Coaches meeting.
The implementation date for the new criteria is planned for the 1st August 2019.
The location of the meeting will be confirmed and will be held within the Midlands Region.
To register to attend or for further information please contact the EKF Squad Administrator Isla Hall on 07971361944 or email performancedirector@englishkaratefederation.com. Attendance confirmation will need to be received no later than Friday 21st June 2019.
