REACREDITATION
https://rowingaustralia.com.au/development/coaches/coaches-accreditation/
Frank:
Looks like I can claim:
Coach crew to any regatta 5 points
Coach Crew to Head of River 5 points (GCASRA Trophy Regatta)
Coach Crew to State Championships 5 Points (QLD School State Champs)
Supervisor for Learn To Row 5 Points (Multiple come and try days and lots of organising)
That's 20 points - Only need 10.
BUT One also needs 10 points of "Personal Development".
I can do
- Approved basic first aid 5 points.
I think the easiest next option is "Self evaluation of coaching via video - signed by acredited mentor coach". Just got to find one of those.

My Re-accreditation Log
To have my coaching qualifications re-accredited, I need have done some stuff and provide evidence.
Lets try and put together a list.
2019
I get elected to the management committee as Vice President. I was physically in Penrith at something. Either NSW states or Nationals. Apparently the AGM was a big fight with girls in tears and the previous president walking out. During 2019 I continued coaching for Brigidine School and Centenary Rowing Club.
7-MAR-2019 International Womens Day Regatta - Coach
25-MAR-2019 Mon-Sun Nationals in Penrith - Coach
Centenary AGM held and I was elected VP.
MAY-2019 Worked on the Centenary Trailer Wiring
20-SEP-2019 QLD Schools Championships 4 days Rockhampton - Coach
2020
This is the year Covid started. QLD shut down just after the GPS head of the river. A shit fight at Centenary resulted in resignations from the management committee and as the VP, I was left to recover the situation.
TERM 1
We had a come and try but notes seem to be light on.
22-JAN-2020 QLD Club Championships
TERM 2
The world is shut down due to Covid. There are tight rules governing
rowing with 10 people only allowed at a time with a Covid compliance
officer. Some nasty emails being sent to key club officials.

11-DEC-2020 Camp at Centenary Fri-Tue I did some high level organising.
And a bit of coaching.
2021
In Jan through March I am still the club president. The acrimony that preceeded my election is still bubbling away beneath the surface. Outwardly the club seems a happier place but I drained by peoples demands and a complete unwillingness to even consider our constitution nor to abide by or develop any form of structure.

TERM 3
Term 3 is an interesting term. It's winter. There are three state level championships in T3. South Qld, Central Qld and All QLD. Brigidine school supports the kids attending the SQ and QLD champs even though it's not an official school sport in T3. The kids who wish to participate need to be in the club in T3. This year the school was happy for me to be the kind of link rather than paying a school rep to attend. We are also still in the throws of Covid and government regulations. I note in August we could only ride our bikes within 10km of home.
17-JUL-2021 South Qld School Championship Regatta - Coach plus towed boats home.
