Become a coach return to top

Building leadership. Building communities.

By learning how to become a coach, you can provide a positive experience for others and for yourself. Coaches represent many different roles to many different people.

Coaches are viewed as teachers, mentors, role models, friends, and as leaders in the community in which they become involved. Coaches contribute to the community, have an enormous effect on the development of our youth, and participate in a great learning experience.

Good coaching is fundamental to community sport. By becoming a valued member of the community, good coaches can share the positive aspects of an active lifestyle. The role of a coach allows you to teach things such as teamwork, character building, and the fundamental skills of the sport to participants who are eager to learn.

Coaches can help to train any type of participant, from beginners to Olympians, and everyone in between. The National Coaching Certification Program Good coaches have the right qualifications and training in order to effectively deliver their services, especially when young people are involved.

The Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) and its partners have developed a training and certification program to help coaches become better. Are you interested in becoming a better coach? If so, you should consider coach training.

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a coach training and certification program for 65 different sports and is offered in both official languages across Canada.

NCCP workshops are designed to meet the needs of all types of coaches, from the first-time coach to the head coach of a national team.
