Title: Coach Certification
Post by: coach on January 25, 2008, 01:29:38 PM
I thought I'd start a new thread on the topic of coach training and certification. There are two parts:

1. Theory - National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP)
2. Practical - Water's Edge, FCRCC, Dragon North, Great White North etc.

The NCCP training is excellent. They teach general coaching skills to be used in any sport. The Level 1 (Intro Part A) and Level 2 (Intro Part B) are very good. Here's the schedule

For the practical (Part 2) Water's Edge offers good courses.

The theory and practical is what you need to be a certified coach, and even if certification is not your goal they will help you be a better coach.
