The FEI Coach Education Programme for Vaulting is ready!
FEI Vaulting Tutor’s Course- Saumur (FRA)-10-14.12.2012

From 10th to 14th of December 2012, the beautiful facilities of the ENE (Ecole Nationale d’Equitation) in Saumur hosted the first FEI Tutors’ course for vaulting tutors. The aim of the course was to educate a new team of tutors to conduct coaches’ courses in Vaulting.

Conducted by our moderator, Mr. Liam Moggan from Coaching Ireland, the beginning of the course was essentially spent in the conference room for theoretical sessions. It was the occasion for the new team to discover the role of the tutor through many discussions, funny games and group presentations. During the second part of the course, the group moved to the indoor arena to work first with a group of young vaulters from a regional club and then with more experimented vaulters from the “Pole France” high performance team. It was the time for all of them to apply what they learned and act as tutors.

The course was a huge success and our newly educated FEI Tutors left Saumur with good memories and great expectations for the future. The team is now ready to start tutoring the first courses worldwide. The vaulting syllabus can be downloaded here.
