Which Course is for me?

Coach 1

Click for more info

OVERVIEW

The Coach 1 - Intro to Coach program was designed to review the basic tools coaches need in leadership, communication, teaching skills and lesson planning. This is taught with special considerations of the youngest athletes in mind. Coaches in the program receive a manual that provides progressive practice plans, which are tailor-made for teaching the beginner to ensure their first experience with hockey is fun and positive.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Intro to Coach is a required course for registered coaches working with players in U9 and below; however, it is not necessarily targeted to the inexperienced coach. The program shows coaches how to teach basic skills and fundamentals while continuing to emphasize fun.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Qualification is based solely on attendance – 100% attendance is required.

There is no pre-requisite course to Intro to Coach. Participants who successfully complete the program will receive Trained status upon completion of all components, which include online modules, classroom instruction and on-ice sessions.

The Coach 1 course consists of 12 online coach modules, 90-150 minutes of classroom time and 90 minutes of on-ice instruction.
