I'm a certified dragon boat coach with 3 years of coaching experience, available to coach teams out of False Creek or Fort Langley (after 7 p.m. during the week and all day on Saturday and Sunday).  Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] for more information.

Heyy

Do you mind telling me how you got certified? This is also my third year of coaching, but I haven't been able to find a dragonboat coach certification program...?


Thanks!

contact water's edge to see when they're putting on their next certification program.  it might even be on their website.

Hey Amanda...

You can take the National Coaching Certification Program
They offer Theory and practical courses.  These are great general courses on coaching theory.  It is required for many organized sports... but somehow dragon boating in Vancouver has been slow to organize or formalize.

Check out Coaching Association of BC

Unfortunately dragon boating still isn't an official NCCP technical course - but both FCRCC and Ontario were developing technical courses. 

Water's Edge offers technical paddling workshops
check out http://www.watersedgesportperformance.com/

They are offering two courses in February

Tristen is doing great!!  He just turned one on January 10.  I've decided to be a stay at home mom, hence the reason why I need a job coaching!!

Thanks a bunch, I just registered for coach's critical eye. Hope it'll help my team improve. Does it come with anything to prove I went through the course (certificate? card?) or is it more like I just say that I've gone through the course and people will believe me? hahaha...

In order to get your certification you need to take the Level 1 coaching course offered through Water's Edge.  There are a number of tasks you need to complete before you can receive your certification.  The coach's critical eye is a great training course that does more on the water training and a lot more "in depth" than the theory coarse of the Level 1 coaching course, however, it's the Level 1 course that will get you your certification.
