Para Archery in Canada November 8th, 1:00PM EST Archery is a highly adaptable sport accessible to all. This webinar will provide an introduction to the CDN Para... program, the people involved, with guidance on key considerations for working with and delivering programming for athletes with a disability. Any archer can apply to be classified through Archery Canada or may be able to be evaluated through a temporary process through your provincial archery association. A classification does not necessarily make an athlete eligible to compete in a Para Archery division, but may make them eligible to compete with an assistive device, in an eligible category to become familiar with the restrictions or assistance that category would bring. This is an opportunity to learn more about this sport which was one of the original sports at the inaugural Paralympic Games in 1960. Registration Link: https://us02web.zoom.us//register/WN_txsrqe8LR8qOQHj4la3Emg -- Tir à l'arc paralympique au Canada 8 novembre, 13h00 EST Tir à l'arc paralympique se réfère à la compétition de tir à l’arc pour les archers qui ont des déficiences physiques et qui peuvent avoir besoin d’appareils fonctionnels selon certaines classifications. Le tir à l’arc est ouvert aux athlètes ayant une déficience physique qui peuvent tirer avec des appareils fonctionnels autorisés par les règles de classification, si nécessaire. La compétition de tir à l’arc paralympique, qui comprend des catégories de compétition spécifiques pour les athlètes ayant certaines classifications, fait partie intégrante des Jeux paralympiques. Ce webinaire fournira une introduction au programme canadien Para, aux personnes impliquées, avec des conseils sur les principales considérations pour travailler avec et offrir des programmes pour les athlètes handicapés.

Developing the muscles and skills required for archery takes training. Not having a program with practice formats and training strategies tailored to their dev...elopment can make it tough for women to feel successful. No wonder they stop doing the sport they love. Let’s change the game at https://buff.ly/3kL9P2Z -- Développer les qualités athlétiques et les compétences nécessaires pour pratiquer le tir à l’arc demande de l’entraînement. Sans aucun programme qui tient compte des stratégies d’entraînement en fonction du développement des femmes, il est difficile de leur faire apprivoiser le milieu. Pas étonnant qu’elles abandonnent souvent le sport qu’elles aiment. Changeons la donne à https://buff.ly/3kL9P2Z See more
