Coaches of the leading orienteering countries meet between the 8th and 10th August for an international conference to share their perspective on different orienteering topics. For the third time after 2009 and 2015 Austria hosts this symposium which is also part of the Austrian trainers’ education program.

Experts from eight nations will discuss performance diagnostics in orienteering, gender-specific questions and individual support in training, structures of the high performance field, best practise orienteering trainings and assumptions of the future of orienteering.

Coaches from Norway (Janne Salmi), Switzerland (Kilian Imhof), Finland (Petteri Kähäri, Miia Niittynen) and Austria (Radek Novotný), to name some of the experts, will give insights into their training and national team policy.

Short summaries of the coaches lessons will be published “live” on the homepage of the Austrian Orienteering Federation as well as on the social media accounts Facebook and Instagram.
