Coaching Committee AAS Coaching Committee Annual Report (1st April 2019 – 31st March 2020)
2019 Mel Nichols’ Compound Coaches Seminar and Workshop in Bangkok on 17 – 23 September 2019 was by Coach Mel Nichols (Number One World Class Compound Coach from USA) at Bangkok Archery Center.
Six coaches from AAS, Rachel Sng, Gordon Thong, George Loh, Angie Ng, Contessa Loh, Ali Bin Awang attended the above workshop in Bangkok and had gained good knowledge on Compound Archery Technique. On their return, a workshop sharing session was conducted by the six coaches on 26 Oct 2019. Each coach selected a topic and presented to our fellow coaches.
SG Coach Technical Level 1 bridging course was conducted on 26 Aug 2019 and seven archers from AAS affiliated Clubs successfully passed the practical assessment test and were presented with SG Coach Technical Level 1 Certificate on 18 Nov 2019 by our AAS President.
The 7 new SG Coach Level 1 (Archery) coaches were:
Chua Kian Hon Colin Lee Chung Hee Alan Sim Sheng Xiang Barry Fung Yoong Sin Ong Shey Tene Sion Teo Wei Xiang Ooi Tong Aun
Curriculum Development SG-Coach Archery Integrated Program:
On 27 March 2015, CoachSG announced that SG-Coach Programme replaces the National Coaching Accreditation Programme (NCAP). To sync with CoachSG, AAS had taken step and engaged a vendor to convert our existing Coaching NCAP syllabus to an Integrated Curriculum which include the theory, basic sport science and technical parts of the course.
The work for the Integrated Curriculum had started on mid Mar 2020 and in progress, the Scheme of work had been drafted and most of the non-technical modules were completed. The technical area is work in progress. We are also engaging WA to help up in the technical area.

Judge Committee AAS Judges Committee Annual Report (1st April 2019 – 31st March 2020)
Introduction
The autonomous five members judges committee (JC) comprises of Mr. Leong F K, Mr. David Tan, Mr. Eugene Chaim, Mr. Patrick Leong and Mr. Khor Jia Min continued to serve in the JC from 1st April 2019 till to-date. The composition of the JC is well balanced with International Judge (IJ) taking the leadership roles and the members consist of two Continental Judge (CJ) and a National Judge (NJ) which can ensure that the CJs and NJs needs are not neglected. To date we have a team of 22 accredited judges (5 IJ, 4 CJ, 12 NJ and 1 NJc). The Judges Committee reports to the AAS Exco and the Management Committee through the MC and general meeting.
Main roles and responsibilities of the Judges Committee
• To inform and update the AAS judges on all matters relating to Judging within WA. • To maintain a register of a Judges within AAS. • To organize national judge training course, maintain and monitor the Judge’s training. • To appoint Judges to National Tournaments as required. • To organize refresher training and workshop for judges and coaches. • To investigate any complaint made against a Judge and take the necessary action when requested by the AAS. • To resolve the queries of Judges pertaining to problems which arise when applying the rules and to make referrals or recommendations to other Committees which involve clarification of the rules or misinterpretation of the rules.
JC Activities (1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020)
During the reporting period, the committee has been working on business as usual, like conducting refreshers training, coaches’ workshop, appointing judges for local events, updating the Judges when updates are available and replying to question relevance to judging.
The committee has met three times. The meeting gives us time to look back over what has happened and consider any changes to judging which may need to be applied. We discussed on our work plan and how to bring up the standard of our national judges. The committee needs to ensure that the judges are completely focused, alert and knowledgeable of all the competition procedures/rules, at all stages of a competition. To achieve this the Judges committee will update all judges on new updates of the rules, establish a re-accreditation

procedure for our national judges, prepares judging refresher training and organize re- accreditation test.
We also discussed about hosting the international judges conference in Singapore
In the first half of the work year, the Judges committee has successfully held a Judges refresher training and a coaches’ workshop on WA rules. The second coaches’ workshop and the national judges training course was cancelled due to poor response. It was unfortunate the second Judges refresher training scheduled in March 2020 had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion
The AAS JC plan continues to focus on the supporting AAS activities. The education and formation of new judges will always remain two important factors of the Judges Committee work program. In addition to educating our present Judges we also need to build cooperation with our member and continental associations, in order to promote judging for younger people, both by finding talents and to give them practice in local and continental events.
We will continue to organize National Judges training course, Judges refresher training and coaches’ workshops once the restrictions for gathering are lifted.
While we are doing all that we can do to raise the knowledge of our national judges so as to enable them to attain the International judge status, their growth is dependent on their own diligence and the support from the Association.
The AAS Judges Committee would like to thank all our National Judges (including International and Continental Judges) who have done a remarkable job at our local events in the last year (1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020). We would also like to thank all the Exco Members, affiliates and coaches for their understanding, support and co-operation.

The Year Ahead
Future plans With COVID-19 causing much disruption to the sporting scene, we would like to be able to start everything again on a fresh start for 2020-2021. By getting a coach in, we would like to start development programs to groom more archers for the next few upcoming major games.
