What
- This clinic will cover teaching the basics of orienteering. Most of us know the basics, but imparting the basics to another person is a different matter. This clinic focuses on the basic steps and progressions for teaching beginners. It would be good for people who do beginner clinics, PE teachers, and anyone who wants to teach orienteering. Also, as we start putting on more training programs for our club, you may be asked to help with the juniors or explain an exercise—this would be a good stepping stone to doing that.
