Moravian Coaching Plan 2024
2024 Coaching Plan Objective
A coaching programme, to continue to introduce Basic Techniques for Orienteering to our novice and/or younger junior orienteers. Carol McNeil’s Technical Difficulty Summary will form the basis of all sessions.
Implementation
To build on the coaching programme in 2023, concentrating on TD2 & TD3. To be offered at as many Saturday League events as possible. Morag to lead with assistance from Karen.
Outcomes for participants:
To review TD1 where required:
ü Understand map colours and commonly used symbols
ü Orient the map using compass and terrain
ü Orienteer along tracks and paths
ü Make decisions at ‘Decision Points’ identified by a control site
TD2:
ü Make decisions at a ‘Decision Point’ without the assistance of a control to identify it as such.
ü Orienteer along obvious line features (handrails).
ü Leave a line feature to go to a visible control site near to it; return to that line feature
TD3:
ü Basic use of compass to allow shortcuts through the terrain between two line features.
ü Corner Cutting
ü Navigate a short leg on a rough compass bearing to a control on or in front of a collecting feature.
ü Simplification of legs with several Decision Points
ü Make simple route choice decisions.
