POTOC can help your school with Orienteering activities
Orienteering can be a very rewarding sport for young people as it offers both a physical and mental challenge. For teachers interested in introducing the sport to students as part of their Outdoor Learning and Adventurous Activities programme, the club can offer plenty of advice and support.
Maps
The club can assist with the production of maps for schools. Please Contact the club for more information regarding how we can assist with mapping.
Permanent Orienteering Courses
Schools often progress rapidly from their own site to one of these facilities, ideal training before a school’s competition. The full list of local permanent orienteering courses can be found on this website on the Permanent Orienteering Courses tab. All of these courses have maps that can be downloaded for free with the answer codes also provided on our website.
Local Events
Our local POTOC events are a great way for students and teachers to experience and try orienteering. We have a range of different courses at all of these events to cater for all different abilities. You can find information via our Events page.
Coaching
Our local events offer free informal coaching on request and schools are encouraged to enable their pupils and interested parents to access some level of basic coaching. POTOC stages a significant number of small events, ideal for beginners. Our club coach may also be available during school term time to deliver high quality coached sessions on school sites or at local Permanent Orienteering Courses. (normal schools sports coaching rates apply)
