ONLINE COURSES
FUNDAMENTALS PROGRAMME
Are you looking to begin your journey as a calisthenics coach?
Due to your own schedule or location, is impossible for you to attend a practical course we are running?
We understand not everyone has the schedule needed to attend a practical course. We understand as coaches it can be difficult to find time due to your current timetable and potentially already operating your own programmes.
That’s why we have developed our online courses.
Since the implementation of our FUNdamentals programme we have noticed the limitations in only having practical courses. Many coaches around the country have been unable to attend the practical due to schedule conflicts or locations being impractical. Let's be honest coaches lead hectic, competitive and busy lives by their very nature!
This led to us developing a calisthenics coaching course online. The course contains the exact same elements as our practical course except you can complete the training at a schedule and location that suits you. If you want to learn, grow and coach, now you can, no matter how hectic your schedule is.
Imagine, you wanted to attend our Belfast workshop, you were simply unable to attend due to prior commitments. Previously you may have had to wait up to three months until another workshop was held and even that workshops date or location may not suit your schedule! Calisthenics is a sport in its infancy, and for this reason practical courses and workshops can only be held sporadically up and down the country by only a few top professionals.
We hope that our online course will help more coaches engage with Calisthenics and help coaches bring Calisthenics to their own communities by setting up clubs. We hope our online course brings the basics of coaching calisthenics to more fitness enthusiasts and helps the development of Calisthenics on the Island of Ireland.
This course has also been designed by Jamie Geraghty, and he has brought the standard of this course to the exact same level as the practical, and this is why The Irish Calisthenics Institution is really happy to launch this online course.
What does the course contain?
All the same material from the practical
We look at how these programmes help tackle an over arching problem in society with less people being physically active and how calisthenics can help. We look at how you the coach can introduce these programmes in to school settings.
Athlete’s Developmental Needs
We showcase to you an Athlete’s Developmental Needs and that sport has a much bigger impact on people than just physical development. We look at the emotional impact and the cognitive development it produces.
We look at you the coach and the skills you need. We look at the role you have in an athlete’s development and how we can develop them physically, emotionally and cognitively.
FUNdamental Movements
We then look at our FUNdamentals Assessment Chart and the movements we use at this stage to adequately develop our athletes. We show you how to assess these and evaluate your athletes as well as detail the benefits of each one and why we use these.
Class Structure
We finally look at class structure and how you can implement everything in the course to design your own long term plan for classes with the athletes you have.
You also have a contact point through us for any issues that arise or any queries about the course you are unsure of. You become part of a broader community of coaches who are all willing to help each other in order to further develop the sport.
