British Coaching Organizations

[SASHA]

(The following is translated) British cyclists, our Team guys like to know which is governing body of cycling in GB? BCF or another group called ABCC. We think there is something funny here. BCF looks official to us but who is ABCC?? They for real??
Moderator-we don't know where to put this question, sorry.

[NS]

They are both recognised coaching organisations in the UK. The ABCC provides a self study home learning type course and usually provide you with a mentor. Whereas the British Cycling course is usually 2 or 3 days of classroom work.

A lot of the UK coaches have both qualifications although I wouldnt say this was a must. The ABCC website in particular has some very good articles written by highly respected coaches.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much but this answer don't help at all. Which one is official coaching organization of GB??We don't care about study or articles. What recognized means? Who is recognizing??Both can not be official we think. Only one can be for real.
We think this smells funny. Which one coaches official GB teams?? BCF right?? This ABCC sounds like not official, right??

British Cycling (formerly BCF) run their own coaching program but the GB team is run by the World Class Performance Plan. A coach accredited on the British Cycling course does not mean they are coaching The GB Squad.

Perhaps if you address your queries to the organisations themselves you will be pleasantly surprised by the response.

I dont see what smells funny about it. Are there no other sports that have more than one coaching body?

Sasha - NS is trying to help, but there is clearly a language problem. I think it's fair to say that the official governing body for cycling in the UK is British Cycling (www.bcf.uk.com) formerly called the British Cycling Federation.

The Association of British Cycling Coaches is an independent, but very experienced organisation for UK cycling coaches.

But as NS says, the GB team is coached under the World Class Performance Plan.

What 'smells' about any of that? You clearly have a reason for asking. Care to share it?

No language problem with you since you give nice clear answer to us, BCF is official governing body of British Cycling. Only thing British about ABCC is letter B.
Reason I like to know is same as you, is good to know the truth, right?

Moderators-sorry for trouble.
