The first Instructor, Coach and Officials Information webinars, which have been supported by the Queensland Government funding for 2021-2022, have been successfully delivered. The webinars provide additional support in an easy to access online format with the aim to increase or refresh knowledge and to generate possible interest from others in the sailing community who may be looking to become involved in a variety of roles within our sport. 

The response to the webinars was very good and the feedback received provided some insight into the participants’ motivation for attending the webinars and their ideas on how to improve them.

Motivations

• Receive new, useful suggestions
• Refresh knowledge
• Gain a deeper understanding of information (particularly in Racing Rules)
• Keep up to date
• Have contact with others in the same role

Improvements

• Make sure there is time to cover the topics fully & have full discussions
• Access to recordings to review/view later
• Attendees provided other topics that were of interest to them that we could use for the second round of webinars

Another round of these Information webinars are coming soon! Information will be sent out closer to the relevant dates.
