BSA Coaching Mission Statement The BSA Surfing Coach & SLSA Lifeguard Accreditation Scheme is structured to train and accredit BSA surf coaches & SLSA lifeguards to a suitably qualified and experienced training standard.
BSA Surf Coaches are encouraged to expand their knowledge and experience by attending coaching courses run by other organisations such as the National Coaching Foundation (NCF) and SLSA lifesaving courses run by the Surf Life Saving Association (SLSA) and others.
Attendance at coaching and lifesaving courses (approved by the BSA), run by suitably qualified bodies, and the possession of a current SLSA life saving award (BSA approved) are prerequisites for accreditation as a BSA surf coach.
Each of the BSA Surf Coach Awards is valid for 3 years and there is a detailed syllabus (and course manual)
. Some of the specific objectives of this scheme are to further the development of surfing in all its forms by:
· Producing coaches who are competent to deliver quality surf coaching to participants, both individuals and groups (including teams), at all levels and thereby developing higher levels of knowledge and skill of the sports participants.
· Making BSA Surf Coach Training and Accreditation Courses available to surfers throughout Britain.
· Developing, through educational & training programmes and by other methods, a body of knowledge on which BSA surf coaches may draw.
· Providing BSA coaches with opportunities, encouragement and support, for further self-improvement and with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a career as a professional BSA surf coach.
