Course general info:  Qatar has been working to improve wrestling in its country.  They have coaches who have acquired the basic skills and now are looking to improve.  This course will also be a regional course as there will be other participants from the region.  With many Level 1 courses that have been conducted in the region, this will give an opportunity for the coaches to come and build their knowledge and skills.  The idea is to conduct a Level 2 course on Introduction to Practice Planning.  This will provide their coaches with the foundation on how to design training sessions for their athletes.  During this, they will also have a chance to work with the coach educator, Mohamed Abdelfattah on developing their Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling technical skills.  Mr. Abdelfattah is a 3x Greco-Roman Olympian and former World Champion.  He has experience coaching the national team for USA Wrestling and is currently coaching at the University of North Carolina.  In addition to the coaching course, Kamel Bouaziz (Vice-President of the UWW Referee Commission) will provide a referee module to help develop the referees and coaches in the country.   It is important that referees and coaches continue to build their relationships.  They will be able to work together to help each other improve.  On the final day, they are organizing a small competition.  This will allow the participants to practice their coaching and refereeing skills.  Both of the educators are familiar with the region and also speak the same language as the participants.  They will also better be able to assist in the development of coaches and referees in this region.
