Simone for ‘Friends of the Children’

Friends of the Children is a national nonprofit organization that selects and invites youth – all of whom have unique talents, interests and dreams, and face multiple systemic obstacles – to be paired with a paid, professional mentor called a Friend.

We hire and train Friends to support our youth from as early as age 4 through high school graduation – 12+ years, no matter what. …

FIG eLearning platform – a review

As one of the authors of the Canadian WAG & MAG coach education online platform materials, I am impressed with what FIG has done with theirs.

It’s inevitable that eventually all our resources will be digital. Only a few of those printed.

Every organization is struggling with how BEST to move online.

FIG has challenges:  8 disciplines x 3 languages.

NEW is a requirement that all coaches in an FIG competition must get their Safeguarding Certificate by December 1, 2023.

The FIG is happy to announce that the Safeguarding Online Course is now available on the eLearning Platform. As approved by the Executive Committee in March 2023, the purpose of this course is to provide all coaches with a Safeguarding Certificate and therefore give them the tools they need to ensure a safe environment in Gymnastics.

This course is mandatory for all coaches registered in the FIG Coach – Sport Database, and the deadline to comply with this requirement is 1 December 2023. After this date, coaches who did not comply will see their registration pending until they obtain a Safeguarding Certificate.

Step #2 is to have your national Federation create a “Coach – Sport” profile in the FIG database for you.

Only those coaches who are planning to compete in an FIG sanctioned meet need their Federation to create a “Coach – Sport” profile in the FIG database, however.
