Step 1 · The person
Age, level, and what they want.
What we do, in detail
Instruction, working with minors, supervision and contact, and our limits.
Program 01 · Matched to the person
Sports instruction
Instruction built around who is actually in front of you rather than a programme applied to everyone. Progression is paced to the age and the level, which for younger participants means less load and more technique than most people expect. No result, selection or improvement is guaranteed, because those depend on far more than coaching, and anyone promising them is describing a hope.
Step 2 · The plan
Paced to them, not to a template.
Step 3 · The sessions
Technique before load.
Step 4 · The review
Honest about progress.
Step 1 · The extract
Obtained, and showable.
Step 2 · The route
Named, and not through me.
Step 3 · A concern
Acted on, not absorbed.
Step 4 · The parents
Told how it works in advance.
Program 02 · Ask us for it
Working with minors
Where an activity brings an adult into contact with minors, there is a specific criminal record extract intended for exactly that, and a parent is entitled to ask to see confirmation. Just as important is a named route by which a child or parent can raise a concern without it passing through the person it concerns, because a complaint that has to travel through its own subject never arrives. Concerns about a participant's integrity are acted on rather than handled quietly within the group.
Program 03 · Explained first
Supervision and contact
Supervision is matched to age, level and the genuine risk of the activity, and we decline a group size or a setting where adequate supervision is not possible, which occasionally means turning work down. Physical contact needed for technique or safety is explained before it happens rather than simply done. Changing facilities, travel and residential activities are arranged so an adult is not alone with an individual child where that can be avoided.
Step 1 · The activity
What risk it actually carries.
Step 2 · The group
Sized so it can be supervised.
Step 3 · The contact
Explained before it happens.
Step 4 · The settings
Changing, travel, residentials.
Step 1 · The question
Whether it is ours to answer.
Step 2 · The referral
To a doctor where it is health.
Step 3 · The qualification
Stated, not inflated.
Step 4 · The cover
Ours stated, yours checked.
Program 04 · Health goes elsewhere
What we are not
Instruction is not a healthcare act. We do not diagnose, do not treat injury and do not give dietary, nutritional or medical advice, and anything about an injury or fitness to participate belongs with a doctor. Coaching qualifications are stated rather than implied, and they are not protected professional titles in Belgium, so nobody should read one as a guarantee. Check your own accident cover: ours and yours are different things.
