Coaching / NCCP

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a coach training and certification program for all coaches in more than 60 sports. The NCCP has moved towards a competency-based approach where coaches are:

• trained in NCCP outcomes relevant to the participants they are coaching
  (recreational participants to National level athletes);
   
• evaluated by demonstrating coaching outcomes to a specified standard.

To learn more about the NCCP, visit the Coaching Association of Canada website and refer to the Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton NCCP Operations Manual (.pdf, 2.8MB) .

Bobsleigh Canada has defined a participant and a coach development model as well as 1 pathway in order to clarify how one goes about becoming a certified coach, and to demonstrate the overall vision of the federation for its coaches and participants in the years to come.
