NCCP NEWSLETTER
Calling All Coaches Newsletter(Winter 2011)with the attached Winter Schedule.A few reminders:
- The only theory accepted for the Foundations (Level 1) coaching certification is the one taught through AGF or RGA learning facilitators.
- As of April 2009, Level 3 Theory will no longer be available. The COMPETITION-DEVELOPMENT MODULES replace this course in the new NCCP structure. These modules are now being offered in Calgary and Edmonton. To register for one of the these modules please contact the host agency.
- The Foundations workbook has to be completed and handed in at the theory course before you can take the Foundations day 4 technical course in a specific gymnastics discipline.
- All coaches who wish to move on to the Level 2 should be prepared to complete Making Ethical Decisions prior to registering for the Level 2 technical course.
