ASRC Coaching Policy
ASRC Coaching policy
At ASRC, we are always keen to welcome more coaches and volunteers to support our growing junior membership base and coaching programme. In order to protect both junior players and coaches/volunteers within the club, we must adhere to a set of guidelines.
As of January 2025 the guidance is as follows:
Coaching sessions
- If you are the main coach at a session that includes juniors at ASRC, you must possess the following:
- Coaching qualification
- Coaching license
- ASRC PVG
- Child Welfare & Protection in Sport (CWPS) Certificate
- If you are a secondary coach at a session that includes juniors at ASRC you must possess the following:
- ASRC PVG
- Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Certificate
Tournaments
- If you are the main or secondary organiser of a junior tournament that at ASRC, you must possess the following:
- ASRC PVG
- Child Welfare & Protection in Sport Certificate
- This does not include referees of junior tournaments
Coaching qualifications, licenses and CWPS certificates
These documents can be obtained through Scottish Squash. Please reach out to them to find out more information and how to register for the next course.
Please note – a coaching license is not the same as a coaching qualification. Your license provides you with the correct insurance and protection as a coach and you cannot obtain a license without a qualification.
A Child Welfare & Protection in Sport certificate is required for all those directly dealing with u18s under Scottish Squash regulation.
PVGs
To obtain a PVG for ASRC, please contact our Child Welfare & Protection Officer on [email protected]. If you have an existing PVG for a different organisation, you must still obtain an ASRC PVG.
If you do not have the correct paperwork in place, you will not be able to book your tournament or host your coaching session. Please ensure your paperwork is in place in advance of arranging your coaching session or tournament at ASRC. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
