RE: FITA Basic Coaching Manual

I guess I'll stick with the GNAS version

Understandable but we're trying to get away from the sad, bad old GNAS.
My club is in the (maybe fortunate ) condition of not having any GNAS coaches so beginners courses are run by archers. Problem with this is that it leads to inconsistencies as well as variations in quality of training. You pick up on someone half way through the course and have a 'what the !!!!' reaction. The Fita manual (put together as the consensus of international level coaches rather than a bunch of local yokels) aims at standardising beginners' training. If used as the basis for beginners training (granted with some club archers no chance) then at least most would be singing from the same hymn sheet and the core training would be compatible with future archer development.

My interest in not so much the content but how the manual is structured in terms of running a six week introductory course.
