Introduction
During 2004, CoachVille is supporting the developing of local CoachVille Study Groups.

And, we have been asked recently to also support the development of Virtual Study Groups, meaning that you as a the host would be facilitating a conference call with 5 to 25 other coaches who have an interest in one of CoachVille's 3 Step Training Modules or other coach related trainings.

Coaches tell us they don't live close enough to a group of other coaches, or that they simply prefer to meet in this virtual format for convenience, less stress, family time/concerns.


Guidelines
Here are the guidelines we have established for Virtual Study Groups, which are more rigorous than the guidelines to be a local Study Group Host, given the format and 'delivery location' is different.

1. The host's tone/style used is not instructional but rather facilitative.
2. The host may not charge tuition/fee for these "calls."
3. The host may only use CoachVille provided materials/topics during these calls.  No other resources may be used. (Remember these are CoachVille Virtual Study Groups, not John Smith's Study Groups.)
4. CoachVille will provide a bridge for the study groups use. The bridge is not to be used for anything other than the study group. Violators will have their Study Group Host Status removed.
5. CoachVille will help funnel members to your group, but it is up to the host to manage/keep track of their group.
6.  Do not market to your group, without their permission. Not only is this tacky, it's unethical. And we will hear about it. (always do).
