Specific.
- Manage the assignment of
training areas according to availability of space and the training needs of
members. [GIS maps and other charts are useful tools in this respect.] The
practice manager will be available in the “headquarters area” (near the red
barn) until 10 AM.
- Determine the suitability of
weather for training and advise those who have indicated they intend to
train if training is cancelled.
- Determine the training needs
of members through direct on-site inquiry, personal knowledge, information
received before hand from members, etc.
- Assign members to work
together in terms of mutual track laying, observing, coaching, etc.
- Lay track if requested and
if other commitments permit.
- Observe and coach if
requested.
- Utilize experienced members
who may be present as instructors if they are willing. [There’s
usually enough downtime while waiting for tracks to age for this activity.
