If a Centre wants to run an Introductory Course and has no qualified Coaches then they should contact the SALAA Coaches Club Coaching Co-ordinator to arrange for a Qualified Coach.

NB The Coaches Club Secretary should be notified before the Centres run any courses. This allows the Coaches Club to register the Course, organise booklets and check to see if the Coach is qualified.
