HUMAN KINETICS

Football Canada has partnered with Human Kinetics Publishing Company to bring Football related educational resources to its members. The partnership program will provide the opportunity for individuals to conveniently access resource material, which might otherwise not be available and at the same time provide some financial support to their participating football “member” association.

In return for promoting Human Kinetics books, videos and CD-ROM resources, Football Canada will receive a portion of the price of each order placed through the National Office. In turn, the National Office will share the generated revenue with its member associations that agree to promote the partnership through its newsletters, website, clinics seminars, workshops and conferences etc.

To order, please contact us at: admin@footballcanada.com

How It Will Work

The partnership program will work this way:

Human Kinetics will provide Football Canada with a list and description of Football Related resources. In turn, the National Office will provide the list and description to each participating “Member Association” for promotional purposes. In addition, the National Office will publicize the resources on its website and other means that are appropriate and cost effective.
Participating Member Associations will agree and actively support the partnership by advertising and promoting the resources through its newsletters, website, clinics, seminars, workshops and conferences etc.
Individuals and associations, clubs etc. that wish to order a Human Kinetics item will simply do so through the National Office. See the ordering and financial details that follow.
Once the order has been placed at Football Canada, the National Office will wire Human Kinetics to confirm that the ordered items are available, to confirm the price and shipping and handling charges. The National Office will contact the purchaser to confirm the details of the order and finalize method of payment.
Once payment has been received, the order will be placed with Human Kinetics. The order will be shipped directly from the Human Kinetics Canadian Office to the address the purchaser provided. Under normal conditions, the book should reach you within two to three weeks.
