NATIONAL COACHING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FINAL APPROVAL
FOOTBALL – COMMUNITY SPORT – INITIATION
The Coaching Association of Canada and the National Coaching Certification partners have given approval for the Football Canada’s Community Sport – Initiation Program.
Coaches in the Community Sport stream typically become involved on a voluntary (and often short-term) basis because their children participate in a sport. They tend to work with participants of all ages who are new to the sport.
The NCCP is the recognized national stan dard for coach training and certification in Canada.
Each year, more than 50,000 coaches take an NCCP workshop and since it began, more than 1 million coaches have participated in the program, making it one of Canada’s largest adult education programs.
For a list of upcoming Football Technical Courses please contact your local Provincial Amateur Football Association. A complete list of Provincial Associations can be found at
