Coaching Update - November 2006

Over the summer the number of coarse angling coaches in Scotland soared by around five hundred percent! This was due to the fact that five new coaches were passed out as level 2 qualified.  There is a mixed background of match, specimen and predator anglers in this group, so something for every one.

Two of the group have even started their own company The Professional Anglers Association (Scotland) helping to develop the sport and encourage new anglers.  They are available to help you brush up and improve on your own skills or learn some completely new methods and tactics.  Their website can be found at www.scottishproanglers.co.uk 

All the new coaches will be involved in many projects and initially will be working with the Waterways Trust and their active outdoors programme where they will teach a whole host of pupils including the disadvantaged and disabled in the basics of coarse angling.
