Coach Education Workshops

We are starting back our Education Workshops from next week.

 

We will be running a BDO Workshop specifically for club BDOs, where we will deliver a workshop that BDOs can then bring back and deliver to both coaches and parents within their club.

 

We also have a 5v5–7v7 Format Workshop for any coach involved in these formats of the game. This workshop will show how the 5v5 and 7v7 game formats work for your teams.

 

Please share with the relevant coaches, volunteers, parents, and players aged 16+ within your club.
