Orienteering in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire

TVOC Orienteering Coaching

TVOC in conjunction with OUOC are planning a series of orienteering coaching sessions aimed at juniors and beginners of all ages. Qualified coaches will guide beginners through their first steps in orienteering.

These sessions will be on Saturday mornings based in Oxford University Parks (Banbury Road entrance), with additional sessions at Culham and Shotover to coincide with TVOC saturday events.

Each session starts at 10am and costs £1.00 per person.

Sessions at the University parks will last between 1.5 and 2 hours, while at Shotover and Culham the introductory sessions will last about an hour to give time to enter the main Saturday Series event.

No previous experience is necessary, just bring suitable outdoor clothes and waterproofs! Juniors (under 18s) should also bring along a signed parental consent form.

Clothing: Please wear clothing suitable for an open park, dependent on the weather. e.g. gloves, hat, warm clothes, (waterproof) coat, sensible shoes. There will be some time spent walking and standing still as well as some running around so it is important that you wear clothes that will keep you warm and dry.

If you are planning to attend, and in particular if you intend to bring a group, please contact TVOC, to the coaching co-ordinator so we have an idea of numbers.
