"HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED"

(Mc Candless 1968 - 1992)

Any angler that has successfully helped another will see the truth in the statement. The Angling Development Board (ADB) is the national licensing body for coaching qualifications, which meet current 'good business practice' requirements demanded by public sector organisations. To check availablity or book a place, call the Angling Development Board on 0115 813535.

If you are new to coaching, consider our six step plan:

1. Join your local angling club!

2. Volunteer for junior coaching days or work parties, bank clearing, bailiff duties if no coaching takes place yet. This will make you known by the committee.

3. Show you are committed before enquiring about possible club assisted funding.

4. Book your place with the ADB well in advance

5. Gain experience and mentored guidance from a Level 2 coach.

6. Develop skills and qualifications that will supplement your coaching aspirations. (Technical Angling Skills, Teaching or Youth Work Skills, Fisheries Management, Adult Education, etc).
