This workshop is the first of two in the new Community Coach program focusing on training and certification of coaches who work with children nine years of age an younger, but also applicable for coaches working with older skiers who are just beginning the sport.

Coaching Skiers with a Disability
The CAC has recently created a useful resource providing grassroots coaches who have never worked with athletes with a disability with basic information, guidelines and tips that will assist in creating conditions for effective participation and inclusion - Download the Manual Here
National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP)
Step 1: Complete the NCCP Introduction to Community Coaching (ICC) Workshop and prescribed tasks. For the coaches of both able bodied and disabled skiers, this course is a prerequisite to the next step in the NCCP coach education progression.
Ideally, coaches will participate in the ICC Workshop during the fall, complete their practical tasks during the ski season, and take the next course, the Community Coach Workshop, either later in the winter or at the beginning of the following ski season.
Refer to the Cross Country BC website for an explanation of what the minimum requirements are for coaching either able bodied or disabled skiers: http://crosscountrybc.ca/main.asp?cmd=doc&ID=1754
Step 2: Complete a NCCP Community Coaching (CC) Workshop with a Disabled Skiing component, plus the required Community Coaching tasks. This course will include a practical session working with athletes in a camp situation. Note that the Disabled Skiing component adds approximately four hours to the regular program. Participants should be prepared for approximately 20 hours of course time.
These two steps will provide a coach with basic training. More advanced training opportunities will become available as the next levels/stages of the new, competency-based NCCP are developed.
