2004 fall Coaching Schedule
Since our practice on Wednesday and a few Sundays,
2-4:30pm are for beginners and some old members, in order
to help them improve their skills, every week at least one
of our club officers, advisors or experienced members will
coach them. There are many advantages if we can carry out
this plan successfully:
1. Help beginners to learn some basic techniques and strategies.
2. Help members to improve some specific skills so that they
can overcome their weakness.
3. Experienced members can also learn a lot from coaching.
4. Show people that our club has well-planned activities.
It would be beneficial for both members' progress and the
club evaluation.
The following is the coaching schedule of this semester:
8th week, Oct 13, Xiaobo Chao
9th week, Oct 20, Aik Min
