Choosing your Country Coordinator

Your Country Coordinator runs your GA programme. Your NF appoints them. They:

• recruit and train your GAs, or find a trainer to do it
• get GAs to the events your NF has chosen
• work with your NF, and with WFDF

Two jobs, one person or two

The programme has two jobs:

• Training GAs. Bringing trainees into the crew at your events, and judging who is ready.
• Running the programme. Working with your NF and with WFDF, planning the year, and getting GAs to events.

When a country starts, one person often does both. That is fine. Countries that have run a programme for longer often split the jobs: one person trains GAs, and the Country Coordinator runs the programme.

Who makes a good Country Coordinator?

Look for someone who:

• knows your national Ultimate community well
• is organised, and good at keeping in touch with people
• is trusted by players, and by your NF
• ideally, has worked as a GA, or wants to

WFDF's Country Coordinator course on the WFDF Academy covers the rest: recruiting GAs, running training, and keeping your GAs sharp.
