The University of Worcester in partnership with the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education (LAPE) have launched the first Master in European Basketball Coaching. Significantly, the course will be endorsed by the Federation for International Basketball in Europe (FIBA Europe) and the Lithuanian Basketball Federation. The course will be based on the strategic advantage of combining the two institutions' and countries strengths both in the basketball field and in affiliated areas.
This course provides students with a unique opportunity to combine studies with elite sports activities. The course enables current practitioners to develop their conceptual and theoretical understanding in the field of Sports Coaching Science. Practical skills in a range of scientific disciplines will be further developed in order to enhance the coaching process. The course requires students to critically reflect upon contemporary principles and practices in sports coaching (basketball in particular). The course will be of interest to coaches, senior players, coach educators and students throughout Europe who have an interest in developing the game and players.
Experienced lecturers and renowned coaches will be delivering workshops, lectures, seminars and offering tutorial support. Extensive utilisation of on-line teaching and support will be a key aspect of delivery. Lectures and seminars will strategically take place at mid and end points of the playing season (intensive teaching blocks are scheduled in July/August 2010 in Kaunas, Lithuania and in January 2011 in Worcester, England for the first year of study), whilst on-line classes and tutorials will be available throughout the year. The Dissertation module is a research project undertaken independently by the students and supported by tutorials with the student's supervisor throughout.
