Role of a Coach
The role of a coach is to catch the new players and teach them the basics of petanque.
To provide coaching on the correct techniques and tactics in a safe and welcoming environment.
All coaches will encourage and support players to develop their skills and game play.
A coach should look to bring out the best in others and to pass on their experience to help improve performance.
A coach should always seek to learn and develop additional skills.
