Structure |
Annual General Meeting : |
Management of the Tug of War sport The organizational structure of the Tug of War International Federation is a non-complex set-up. The central point is the Annual General Meeting AGM (TWIF Congress) and administered by an executive body, the Executive Committee. The main activity of the Executive Committee is focused on the technical aspects of the organization of international competitions. Managerial aspects such as budgeting and planning however are becoming more and more important, in particular the promotion and the public relations of the sport. TWIF Congress TWIF is an assembly of national Tug of War Associations. The highest authority in the TWIF therefore is the Annual Congress. TWIF Congress is the meeting of all affiliated member Associations of TWIF. The TWIF Congress elects the TWIF Executive Committee.

Trainers : |
Education of trainers and coaches has traditionally been done on a national basis. However in recent years we have started to provide training and development courses for trainers and coaches in developing countries. In December, 2007 a course was held over three days in Anshan, China and in November, 2008 several countries were represented at a seminar in Chinese Taipei. Consideration is currently being given to further courses in Eastern Europe and/or India/China. TWIF has published a Basic Training Manual as well as a DVD on Training of Tug of War |
