To celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is making the online Coach Initiation in Sport Module available for free for 150 days.
Coach Initiation in Sport is an online NCCP module developed to introduce new or experienced coaches to the foundational skills in coaching, including:
- Long-term athlete development
- Ethics
- Coaching motivation
- Athlete safety and wellness
The module is designed to be an important introduction to the key coaching concepts and educational tools that are the foundation of the NCCP. The module remains an excellent informational resource for coaches, which they can revisit at any time after successful completion of the module. In addition, the module introduces coaches to the NCCP – a valuable tool for preparing for a first in-person NCCP coach workshop.
Coach Initiation in Sport is a valuable resource for:
- Parents new to coaching
- New coaches
- Experienced coaches new to the NCCP
- Athletes transitioning to coaching
- Experienced NCCP coaches who need professional development, or a refresh on the fundamental principles of the NCCP
- Sport administrators who work with the NCCP and coach development
The Coach Initiation in Sport module takes approximately one hour to complete, and will be available free of charge until Aug. 3, 2017. After that date, the cost will be $15. To access this fundamental resource, click here to create or log in to an NCCP Locker account.
