Coach Enhancement Workshops

Coach Enhancement Workshops are LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) referenced and have been designed to supplement the knowledge of certified coaches. Most workshops are 4 hours in length. Coaches will receive a practical program that they can implement with their athletes right away. PacificSport Northern BC currently offers 4 workshops: Sport Readiness, Introduction to Strength Training, Introduction to Speed & Agility and Introduction to Weight Training.

Coaches will learn technique and cues for body weight strength training programs. Coaches will benefit from this workshop if they are working with LTAD “Learning to Train” stage athletes. Each coach will leave with practical tools that will allow them to implement programs right away.

By nature athletes are skillled movers and are able to compensate for phsycial limitations in order to successfully execute sports skills. These compensations lead to increased fatigue and soreness, decreased sport performance and eventually injury. The goal of this module is to provide coaches with simple tools to help identify and address physcial limitations in athletes in order to maximize the benefits of their conditioning programs and decrease risk of injury.

National Coaching Certification Program
The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) prepares coaches for the responsibilities associated with coaching athletes of all ages and abilities. NCCP courses are designed to meet the needs of all types of coaches, from the first-time coach to the head coach of a national team. The NCCP is the recognized national standard for coach training and certification in Canada. As part of the program, all coaches are trained in ethical decision-making and sport safety.

Within the competition stream, the theory context has been packaged in a new Competency Based Education and Training (CBET) program that includes two 12-hour courses called "Introduction to Competition Part 'A' and Part 'B' (previously known as Level 1 & 2)
