We are pleased to announce our first speaker Ryan Grewcock from Archery GB, who will deliver a session at the 2026 Coaching Conference on 24th October at Sight Scotland Veterans Hawkhead Centre.
Ryan is currently Head of Learning & Development for Archery GB with 29 years in snowsport, starting as a ski coach at 16 and progressing to Alpine Development Coach (L4). A tutor since the age of 23, he's now a Senior Tutor for UK Snowsport and Snowsport England, delivering all Development Coaching courses. He's managed ski centres, trained athletes, and led national coaching pathways, including the UK's international snowsport licensing scheme. After 11 years at Snowsport England, Ryan joined Archery GB, driven by a passion for coach development. He's also part of the cross-sport group working to regulate coaching for Sport England, shaping the future of coach education.
We are looking forward to having Ryan deliver at our conference.
Our last conference took place in April 2025, which was delivered in partnership with Scottish Fencing, we had around 30 attendees.
The aim of the conference was to offer coaches the opportunity to come together to learn, share ideas, network, feel inspired and more knowledgeable & confident across various topics. There was significant value in this approach and looking forward to welcoming and bringing people together again for future events.
Development & Engagement Officer, Euan Murray shared his thoughts:
‘‘I am pleased that we now have dates confirmed for our 2026 Coaching Conference. It is always one of the highlights of the events calendar and we look forward to coaches coming together face-to-face to connect and share ideas. We are really keen for input from coaches on potential topics and content to ensure it meets the needs of those attending, so please let us know if there are any topics/subjects you are interested in.’’
We have taken feedback on board and decided to revert back to running an archery-specific coaching conference as well as moving the event from April to October. We would like to thank Scottish Fencing for working partnership for the past two conferences and will continue to explore other ways we can work together going forward.
