WHAT'S
NEW??
Coaching Development
A coach is one of the most influential people in a young
person's life. Coaches don't just teach how to hit a ball
or block a spike, but how to win and lose graciously. The
athletic skills young people learn from coaches may only apply
for a few years, but the attitudes they develop toward themselves
and others will last a lifetime.
As a role model, the coach is a teacher, leader, organizer
and counselor.
The new NCCP is as follows:
Introduction to Competition - Part A (replacing
Level 1 Theory) modules includes:
- Introduction
- Make Ethical Decisions
- Planning a Practice
- Nutrition
Introduction to Competition - Part B (replacing
Level 2 Theory) modules includes:
- Design a Basic Sport Program
- Teaching and Learning
- Basic Mental Skills
Level 3 Theory completes the training required for
coaches working with developing athletes. Key concepts are
integrated into the psychological and physical training programs
as they relate to yearly planning.
For more information on the sport specific components,
please contact the specific Provincial
Sport Association.
