WBTF Level I Technical Foundation Certification Program A new online training course for coaches AND judges

The World Baton Twirling Federation (WBTF) has re-formulated the former Level I Coach Training Program to include all WBTF judges. Coaches and judges will learn together and will then be on the same page regarding progressive training, the concepts of each event, design, technique and performance. The WBTF understands the value of educating coaches and judges together, so we can work in tandem toward the progression of our sport.
