Coaching session at Beecraigs

From complete beginner to experienced orienteer, we have free coaching available this autumn for all our club members.

If you are new to orienteering and have enjoyed doing a few orienteering courses, then sign up now for our autumn coaching blocks and learn some new skills!

FVO Stars

FVO Stars is for junior club members age 7-12 years old who would like to learn orienteering skills and achieve their Scottish Orienteering stars awards. Each session is led by a qualified Scottish Orienteering club coach with a ratio of 1 coach to max 8 juniors.

The next block starts on 27th August 2023 at Doune Ponds and lasts until November, with approximately one session per month, often associated with a local club event where you can try out your new skills at a course afterwards. Subsequent dates for this block are 16th September (Falkirk Wheel), 22nd October (Plean near Stirling), 18th November (Hermitage, Stirling), 26 November (Muiravonside, Linlithgow).

All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the coaching. We ask you to sign up for a whole block (£2 per session for maps) and aim to attend most of the sessions which are progressive.
