National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP)

This program, as the name implies, is a Nationally run program for the certification of coaches.  The National Coaching Certification Program is a program designed to train and further educate coaches across the country. You may have taken courses prior to this new designation. Please identify these on the next page.

NCCP provides coaches at all levels with a systematic way to improve their knowledge and skills in the theoretical, technical and practical aspects of coaching.  The content of the Theory course is basic to the broader education of the program. Topics such as leadership and communication, growth and development, psychology of sport, skill analysis, sport safety and training are covered in increasing depth from level one upwards.

Hockey North typically administers these courses known now as Community Coach and Development 1.  Courses are offered at least once per year. These courses are sport specific and delivered by certified course conductors upon request by local Associations. The Executive will make every attempt to obtain further courses and training for the coaches, parent helpers and directors.
