 2.   2019 3D World Championship Awarded to The Lakeland Archers of Lac La Biche, Alberta

 

Coming out of the World Archery meetings held this past weekend (December 12-13, 2015) in Istanbul, Turkey, World Archery announced those cities selected to host World Championships over the next 2 to 5 years. There was some very exciting news for Canada. The 2019 3D World Championship has been awarded to The Lakeland Archers of Lac La Biche, Alberta. Rene Schaub and a small team of volunteers prepared the bid package. Archery Canada provided its input throughout the preparation process and whole heartedly endorsed the bid.  

Congratulations to Rene and the rest of his team on this tremendous accomplishment!

 3.  Competition Development Coach Certification Context Approved by CAC

Archery Canada is pleased to announce that the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) has given final approval for our Competition Development coach certification context. This completes Archery Canada's transition to the "new" competency based National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). 

Archery Canada's approved NCCP programs are now available through its member Archery Provincial / Territorial Sport Organizations (PSO / TSO).  Coach pathways leading to certification in all the contexts are available on the Archery Canada website at the following link: https://www.archerycanada.ca/en/coaching/coaching-certification  .

Delivery of Competition Development in each of the PSOs/TSOs may be a format of small group or possibly individual mentor. Cross PSO/TSO training may also be needed depending on human resources in each province/territory. There must be an athlete/coach candidate pair to work together for a year in order to complete the Competition Development certification. The athlete should be in the higher levels of Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD).

Coaches in the Competition stream usually have previous coaching experience or are former athletes in the sport. They tend to work with athletes over the long term to improve performance, often in preparation for provincial, national, and international competitions. There are three contexts of workshops for competition coaches that reflect the stages of athlete development: Introduction, Development and High Performance. The Introduction context of competition workshops are designed for coaches of athletes moving from the Learn to Shoot to the Train to Shoot LTAD stages. The Development context of competition workshops are designed for coaches of athletes ranging from the Train to Shoot to the Train to Compete LTAD stages. The High Performance context of competition workshops are typically focused on coaches of athletes in the Train to Excel stage of LTAD, although there is the possibility of some phasing in of a Train to Compete athlete into the High Performance level because of the fluidity of the stages of long-term athlete development. Coaches in this context require specific skills and abilities in order to meet the needs of their athletes.

Bruce Savage, Chair of Archery Canada’s Coaching Certification Committee has played a pivotal leadership role in the transition to and ongoing development and completion of the Competition Introduction and Competition Development contexts of Archery Canada’s NCCP. Bruce has been the lead in the development of the course resource materials and has facilitated a number of successful pilot courses. Sincere thanks and appreciation is extended to Bruce for the enormous time, effort and expertise that he has devoted to the development of our NCCP.

Archery Canada is pleased to announce that the 2016 Canadian 3D Indoor Championship has been awarded to the Semiamhoo Fish and Game Club of Surrey, British Columbia. The Championship will be held at the Cloverdale Agriplex complex in Surrey, BC on April 1^st to 3^rd. For more information, go to the Championship website at: http://www.indoor3dnationals.com/ .

Congratulations and thanks to Stan Jones (Chair of the host organizing committee) and his team of volunteers comprising the committee.
