SA State Director of Coaching Report
SA State Director of Coaching Report - 4 December 2008
Coaching in 2008 has been a rewarding and positive experience for all who were involved. Our main objective for this year was to reinforce a team approach. I am very pleased with the attitudes and approaches to training and tournaments of all squad members. Everyone in my opinion did their job to the best of their abilities. As coach I would like to see this carried on as I see it being critical to the future of sports Pétanque.
Results from Tempe didn’t reflect the paramount comradery and lots of invaluable experience that was gained by all, especially me.
Seniors game results:
Round 1 – Qld 5 / SA 1
Round 2 – Tas 1 / SA 5
Round 3 – WA 6 / SA 0
Round 4 – Vic 5 / SA 1
Round 5 – NSW 5 / SA 1
Veterans game results:
Round 1 – WA 2 / SA 4
Round 2 – Qld 5 / SA 1
Round 3 – NSW 6 / SA 2
Round 4 – buy
Round 5 – Vic 4 / SA 2
Timed games were used and seemed to work quite well for keeping the tournament to a schedule but was detrimental to us at times as some potential fight backs were dissolved with time restraints. This will be something we will need to be mindful of in the future as strategies are considered as this has been proposed to be the format to be used from now on.
Teams have been selected for the Nationals in WA
Teams as follows:
Senior open:
Team 1: Craig Stewart, Tony Stosjic, Raluca Raicu
Team 2: Valmai Nicol, Mike Mulverhill, Richard Voskamp
Senior women: No team being sent
Veteran mens:
Graham Clark, John Wright, Allan Sanderson
Veteran womens team:
Judith Brown, Glenis Head, Llianne Healey
1 x junior – Luke Randall
Thankyou to all squad members and fellow Pétanquers who have provided assistance and still are. A special thanks to Adrian Clements for his support and invaluable experience.
I would like to reiterate my original selection proposal which included an ongoing revisal of all processes for a healthy future. With this in mind we all have an opportunity to be part of sports Pétanque and in the not too distant future have SA players representing Australia in International competitions as well disciplined competitors. This is the only stepping stone for players who have that desire and ambition. The coaching fraternity welcomes everyone who would like to be part of it

Hi colleagues,
I hope this letter will find you all well.
-To give valuable incentives to our players, it was decided in consultation with PFA, that the winners of the National in Perth will go to the Asian Games. We probably will extend this invitation for the winners at Easter as well. The Oceania games will give us a nice alternative every two years and other options for those same winners.
-We, as Coaches, will still select all the teams going at the different world championships and Trans Tasman. Practically, only the players who travel to compete will have the chances to represent Australia in those championships.

-I will need by the end of October, the number of teams by States, in each category, who will go to WA. If some players wants to play but are not qualified or don’t have a team, put them on a waiting list. Like last year, once we have the names, we will be able to complete the draw with development squads or by others teams to have a good and balanced competition in Perth.
Best Regards.
Jean Francois Veyssiere.

Pétanque Australia, National director of Coaching
CIEP AUSTRALIA-(registration pending)

Secretary: afigon@bigpond.net.au
Thursday, 6 March 2008
Diffusion: PA
It's been only a few week since I started my new challenge in my role of National Director of Coaching. PA has given me a few objectives to achieve which includes, assisting to the development and formation of players of any levels in our leagues and clubs plus improving our performances at international level. To help me achieve these goals, I have appointed a few key people to the following positions:
- Pierre Figon National Coach in charge of the women category (he is also the Secretary of CIEP)
- Tim Whelan, National Coach is in charge of the 18-30 years old players, what we call Development Squad.
- Remi Ghetti, National Coach, in charge of the juniors or under 18 years old and the preparation of the junior team Going to the World championship in 2009
These coaches will work with their peers in all the states when possible. The State Coach will be the relay to conduct our programs locally and therefore we will have a linear progression around the country.
To be on line with FIPJP, we are setting-up CIEP Australia. This structure will welcome coaches and umpires. CIEP, although independent of PA management, will have a wide range of activities that will be always in tune with what our Federation requires:
- Increasing the number of coaches. (PA wants a coach per club)
- Preparing and training national teams going overseas (National Coaches)
- General level of skills...
We are now able to give a diploma to the coach who is recognised internationally. In April, the new course for Level 1 Australian Coach will be deployed across Australia (Perth, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne).
Pétanque in Australia is either played socially or competitively. If the social side is the backbone of petanque, the sport side is our shop window. At our 3 national competitions (Interstate, National and Easter) the coaches will be able to assess, monitor and select our best athletes to represent Australia in any international events. A calendar of those international tournaments will be ready soon, and we will try to send a team whenever possible. I know money is a key factor, but playing a minor sport means that players and coaches have to pay for travel costs and sometimes hotel as well.
I asked that our coaches to work closely with the Leagues and the clubs to help in the development of all players. We can only improved Pétanque by working together, in collaboration on the same objectives.
I look forward for this year.
Yours Sincerely.
Jean François VEYSSIERE
National director of Coaching.
