COACH ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMSNCCP COACH CERTIFICATIONThe National Coaching Certi�cation Program (NCCP) is a coach training and certi�cation program o�ered in over 66 sports across Canada. The NCCP is a collaborative program of the Government of Canada, provincial/territorial governments, national/provincial/territorial sport organizations, and the Coaching Association of Canada. For more information, visit ViaSport's website at www.viasport.ca. This fall, we will be running the following coach training courses. Please visit our website, www.paci�csportinteriorbc.com, for more details.

Are you looking for the NCCP Level 1, 2, or 3 courses? The modules

have been renamed Intro to Competition and Introduction to Competition Development.

For more information, please contact Paci�cSport or ViaSport BC.

Register for NCCP programs by phone at 250-828-3500 or online at www.kamloops.ca/ezreg.

All courses will be located at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC), 910 McGill Road. For more information about any of the NCCP coach training courses, please contact Eryn Bulmer Barrett, Sport Performance Coordinator, at ebarrett@paci�csport.com or 250-828-3583, or visit our website at www.paci�csportinteriorbc.com.

Changes to Competition Introduction Module Delivery - Former Part A and BPreviously, the six multi-sport modules were o�ered as stand alone or grouped into Part A or Part B workshops. (Part A: Making Ethical Decisions, Planning a Practice, and Nutrition; and Part B: Design a Basic Sport Program, Teaching & Learning, and Basic Mental Skills). The Coaching Association of Canada has moved away from using the language Part A and B in reference to these modules, so they stand alone like the Competition Development modules. Save money and register for the course module bundles, or just sign up for the individual module you need for your sport-speci�c certi�cation requirements!
