STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
Update
STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
To help members during this time of lock down, STS has scheduled a series of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey.
This Week’s Session
This week will see the first session taking place - a Question and Answer session with Police Scotland to answer any firearms related questions you have, whether it be about grants, renewals, temporary storage or any types of questions, relating to lock down or after restrictions are lifted. If you haven’t booked on to this yet then get signed up now!
New Additions
STS can confirm the addition of new session for the programme - Shotgun: Maximising Your Training Session. This session is being run by the STS performance coach Marco Micheli, an ISSF A class coach with a number of world class achievements to his name. The session will focus on how to get the most out of your training by looking at elements of session planning and season planning and will be relevant to both athletes and coaches, old and new, alike. Find out more and book on.
About The Sessions
The programme has been designed to include a mix of sessions to appeal to shooters of every different discipline and every standard. Some will focus on specific disciplines and some may be more high performance related but it has been designed to provide something for everyone, responding to the requests received from members.
In general, most sessions will run on a Tuesday evening to allow people at work to still get involved. For the majority, the sessions will run from 6-7pm and will be free for all members to attend. Session may over run slightly but we will endeavour to finish on time.
Initial sessions will be quite broad but where there is clear demand and interest in a topic, we will look to provide more in depth dives on a future date.
The majority of the sessions will be hosted by STS and run in an informal manner with presentations and discussions on topics of interest, with the opportunities for you to ask questions. However some, such as the course on child protection, are officially recognised courses, hosted by external partners and on completion of the course those attending will receive certification to prove they have completed the course.
We have tried to make the programme as varied as possible but are always open to suggestions. If you would like to let us know your suggestions, please complete our education survey.
