Activator Courses - North East

Published:

Open Water & Young Person's Activator

Activator Award

All sports need inspirational individuals who motivate people to take part and stay involved in sporting activity.

The solution is the Activator who could be quite simply anyone - an interested parent, spouse, sibling, an active triathlete, a qualified coach or Technical Official. Activators may take on a variety of roles depending on their environment, ranging from welcoming people to organising activities and leading the activity (not coaching it). 

There are two courses within the North East. 

Open Water Activator

17th March at Hartlepool Marina

This course will be very similar in rationale to the above Activator course, however specifically designed around supporting organised open water swimming sessions in approved venues. The Open Water Activator course will be heavily focused around safety and risk management and supporting open water swimmers. This is NOT a coaching qualification. Individuals who aspire to become a coach much complete a formal coaching qualification.

Young Person Activator

17th March at Emmanuel College

To provide young people (aged 14-17) with the opportunity to gain the skills and confidence to lead and assist in the delivery of triathlon sessions and grow participation in their local club, school, or community group.

Young Activators will develop the skills to:

  • Assist a coach with the set up and running of club activities.
  • Lead sessions under the supervision of a coach or PE teacher. This might involve helping to organise an activity within a session i.e a transition skills challenge, leading the warm-up/warm down, splitting athletes into groups in preparation for the session.
  • Assist in wider club or school triathlon activities such as volunteering or helping to organise GO TRI events or other competitions.
