NCCP
General NCCP is a competency based National Coaching Certification Program. It is comprised of three streams and a total of eight “contexts”, each with its own coaching requirements. Each sport is responsible for identifying how many of the eight contexts are relevant to their sport.
The three streams are:
1.) Community Sport Stream a) Initiation (CSp-Init) b) Ongoing participation (CSp-Ong)
2.) Competition Stream a) Introduction (Comp-Int) b) Development (Comp-Dev) c) High Performance (Comp-HP)
3.) Instruction Stream a) Beginners (Inst-Beg) b) Intermediate Performers (Inst-Imd) c) Advanced performers (Inst-Adv)
Coaches can be trained in any of the eight coaching contexts, which are specific to the type of athlete they are working with, and can progress through to a “Master Coach” level in any context. Training and certification are generally designed for coaches working in a particular stream with a target group of athletes. Becoming certified to coach other target athletes, or in other coaching streams, requires additional training and evaluation. For more information please go to the NCCP website.
Karate
2011 was a big year for Karate Canada’s NCCP program. KC (Karate Canada) finally got Final Approval for their Instructor Beginner and Competition Introductions programs. Ontario was the first province to deliver the program. Although the program reviews were good, some modifications will be made to better the Workshop. Tim Suzuki will join KC in an effort to expedite the Final Approval of Comp. Dev. and help with the revisions to Inst. Beg. and Comp. Intro.
KC also reached a huge milestone by getting conditional approval for the Competition Development program (Provincial Team Coach). Some coaches were trained as part of the pilot last year and more will be trained at the 2011 KC summit and 2012 National Championships this year.
For more information on NCCP as it applies to karate please go to KC’s website and go to the “Coaches” tab.

Long Term Athlete Development
Concussion Awareness
The Coaching Association of Canada has announced the launch of their new e-learning module for concussion awareness. “Making head Way” has been designed to help coaches gain the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of their athletes. This multi-sport module will cover: what to do to prevent concussions, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion, what to do when you suspect an athlete has a concussion, and how to ensure athletes return to play safely. For a limited time this on-line module is free to all coaches and the course will also be recorded as professional development on coaches transcripts. |
