GBHI
registers all member clubs on Skills Award Scheme.
GBHI
has registered on the IHA Inline Hockey Skills Award Scheme
on behalf of its member clubs. The immediate benefit to all
clubs is that they will be able to participate in the Scheme
at around 50% of the usual start up costs. Stella Capel, Chairman
of GBHI commented “By registering on the Scheme on behalf
of all our clubs, GBHI has shown its commitment to developing
the sport through our clubs and this is another benefit of
being a GBHI member. It will provide immediate benefit for
the clubs who run teams up to the U.16 age group but also
provides an opportunity for our clubs who only have U.18 and
Senior teams to use the resource to start up teams at the
younger age groups.” Phil
Worthington GBHI National Development Manager who devised
the Scheme added “To date over 500 children have already
passed through the earlier levels of the Scheme and it is
fast becoming an industry standard.” The Scheme has 10
levels with 10 skills to complete with each level. The earlier
levels go back to grass root skills and are a perfect introduction
to newcomers to the sport. The later levels introduce a difficulty
element and also combine the skills into drills and are a
good test of experienced players abilities. By utilising GBHI’s
existing qualified coaches the Scheme will be developed through
schools and Local Authority Sports Development departments
and a series of coaching qualification programs are planned
throughout the country which will be aimed at Local Authority
sports centre staff and community groups to allow them to
have direct involvement in the running of the Scheme in their
own area. The new GBHI Development Centre at Bowlers, Trafford
Park , Manchester will start the scheme on 27th March 2001
with sessions from 5-6pm, 6-7pm and 7-8 pm. Each session is
limited to 15 players and the course will last 5 weeks and
cost £15 per player. Participants receive badges and
certificates as they go through the Scheme to record their
achievements. GBHI clubs can take advantage of this offer
by emailing gbhi@ihsas.com
for further information on the costs. The club’s name
should be entered in the ‘subject’ box. Non GBHI
clubs who want further information about joining GBHI should
contact Stella at stella@gbinline.com
and non member clubs wanting further information about the
Scheme should email info@ihsas.com
