Alastair George has just finished his three-month stint as our first Australian coach-in-residence.

Alastair follows Grace (Scotland), Tuve (Sweden), Konsta (Finland) and Atte (Finland) in this ground-breaking and transformative opportunity for young elite orienteers to pass on their knowledge to our members - and expand their own horizons in mapping and coaching beginners and school students.

You can read Alastair's summary of his time here.

ONSW is always on the lookout for new coaches-in-residence - be they from overseas, interstate or a local. Check out the CIR website for more information.

A good starting point is to get involved with coaching locally at club, junior or school programs. Enrol for a Level 0 coaching workshop and become accredited.

Talk to your local club about course-setting opportunities, and learn Purple Pen skills, and how to make map changes.

Thanks Alastair and good luck with uni in 2020!
