  • How to deliver these four bacis strokes
  • Good and Bad Practise

Aswell as having the course tutor Barry Robertson for this award, all the participants where lucky enough to have National Coach Ryan Jenkins and Regional Development Coaches Simon Oyler and Aled Rhys Howell who where giving their own technical knowledge and sharing their coaching experiences, they where also shadowing Barry so that they can deliver their own Leaders Courses in their Areas. also present was Bernard Carter who is the TTAW Child Protection Officer, who delivered the Child Protection Workshop
