National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP)

Levels 1 -3 of the NCCP is composed of three different components: Theory, Technical and Practical. After successfully completing your first Theory course the NCCP will issue you a certification number. It will begin with CC and have six numbers. This number will identify you for the rest of your coaching career. After completing all three components of Level I, coaches receive a "Passport" that officially recognizes their accomplishments as a certified coach at that level.
