Ready To Go Orienteering Training Course - Dublin 14th April

The Ready To Go Orienteering (RTGO) course is a teacher and coach training programme designed to give PE teachers and sport coaches the skills to run orienteering sessions in schools and community settings. Orienteering combines map reading, navigation, and physical fitness in a way that works across different age groups and abilities, which makes it a genuinely versatile tool for physical education.

Sport Ireland Campus in Blanchardstown is an appropriate venue: the campus has extensive outdoor space and the infrastructure for this kind of practical training day.

What to expect

10am Tuesday at Snugborough Road. The RTGO course is a hands-on training day covering the skills needed to teach orienteering: course setting, age-appropriate progressions, safety considerations, and how to run a session with a group that has never orienteered before. You’ll be outdoors for part of the day.

The course is aimed at PE teachers, sports coaches, and youth workers. Check the Eventbrite page for any prerequisites and whether materials are provided or need to be purchased separately.
