What you can try for
The certifications.
Everyone starts as a Future Leader. Each rank below opens when these jobs are passed and your record is clear. A coach still sets the rank. Study here. Test on the floor.
Student Role Model
Younger students can copy you. Your uniform, effort, and temper are the lesson.
Student Mentor
You guide someone with less experience. Guidance, not bossing.
Study guide
Pad Holding and Line Management
Hold the target where the technique belongs, watch the striker, and keep the line from turning into a crowd.
Study guide
Stages of Development
A six-year-old, a nine-year-old, and a thirteen-year-old are not the same student in smaller uniforms. Teach the person in front of you.
Assistant Instructor
You can hold a line, a pad, and a class standard when the coach is occupied.
Draft packet
Drill Leading
The handbook names this certification and does not include a packet. This is a floor draft from the line-management standard and the expectations. Replace it when the official packet exists.
Draft packet
Skill Stripe Management
Named in the handbook, no packet in the binder. Working rule: a stripe is a small public proof of one skill. Your eyes have to be honest.
Draft packet
Leading a Class
Named in the handbook, no packet in the binder. This draft is the expectations list turned into a class you can actually open and close.
The brain, the body, and the ages live in the science. Stages of Development is both a certification and that science.
