Eu-Rope-Skip Junior and Senior Staff
Februay 23, 2005

Dear Board-members, Coaches, JuniorStaffers and skippers,

After last NewsFlash (dated February 18) several skippers and coaches E-mailed BRSA or ERSO with the question on how to become a Novice-, Junior- or SeniorStaffer for this years Eu-Rope-Skip. Because of this we publish the procedure.

What are some of the qualifications?!
- (Almost) perfect speaking English
- Coaching skills and experience(s)
- Technical skills
More information is available at: the Matrix.

If you think your answers to the three previous questions are positive, then there are several procedures:
1) You are interested as a person and you think you are qualified enough to teach Level 1-2 or Level 3. In this case you E-mail directly to Novice-Staff-2005@... or Junior-Staff-2005@.... Best of course would be to add your references to this E-mail. ERSO and BRSA will then contact the NRSO (= National Rope Skipping Organization) to ask their opinion about you. Not only technical and teaching skills, but also financial standing (= no debts to the NRSO).
2) Your NRSO thinks you are capable, as well as available to be a Junior- or SeniorStaffer. Your NRSO will contact you directly and ERSO or BRSA directly.
3) ERSO or BRSA thinks you are capable of fulfilling the job. Then we will contact you first. This will be done in the week of March 1st! And when you reply with a positive answer, then we will contact your NRSO.

4) If you think you have more skills and experience then the average, then you can apply as Senior-Staffer. For this you mail to Senior-Staff-2005@....

If everything is positive, then you will be added to the list, which shows the most up-to-date numbers of Staffers and participants to this years event. This list will be on the ERSO-website, as well as in a regularly send NewsFlash. Just as we did with Paris 2003!

Why should you do it?
- Because you don't earn any money; except that you won't have to pay your food and housing from 23rd to 28th July. (So for you who can not calculate that fast: GBP 225.00 for (max) 20 hours teaching = GBP 11.25 = Euro 16.61 per hour...)
- Because you will be skipping again; and that's something you are already doing the whole year through.
- Because you meet others; but then you'll have to talk at least English.
- THAT'S why you should do it!!!! Can you think of better reasons?!?!?
Sure you can!!! Spain will be for the first time in ERSO-history present with teams and skippers!!! Australians will join in again. As will American and Canadian skippers and coaches. But also skippers from all over Europe will be present again!
So don't hesitate and contact us!!

Just one fast suggestion. Look at the smaller airlines and book your ticket now!! For instance: http://www.Thomsonfly.com. Amsterdam - Coventry for just under Euro 70.00!!
