Coaching Staff 2011 - 2012
Coaches are invaluable in the development of an athlete's skill. They are teachers and mentors for the thousands of young athletes they deal with in their day-to-day work. They work not only with athletes but also the athlete's parents in setting realistic goals and the training required to reach their potential and their goals. All coaches must go through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), which is moving towards a competency-based where coaches are:
- Trained in NCCP outcomes relevant to the skaters that they are coaching
- Evaluated by demonstrating coaching outcomes to a specified standard
Currently, all coaches who work at Skate Canada member clubs must meet the minimum criteria as outlined in Rule 2402 of the Skate Canada Rule Book and other provisions from time to time by the Skate Canada Board of Directors, and be a member of Skate Canada.
