NCCP CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS - COMPETITIVE COACHES
The intent of mandatory National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) certification is to ensure that all athletes are being instructed by coaches who are ethical, knowledgeable, and understand age and stage-appropriate training methods. All Ontario Basketball competitive coaches are expected to be “trained” prior to entering a gymnasium and coaching athletes. While Ontario Basketball understands that the timing of clinics in various regions might not always allow for this, the expectation is that coaches will attend the required clinic(s) as soon as possible so that they can implement the techniques that they learn during their NCCP experience, thereby providing their athletes with the opportunity to get the most out of their training. After completing the in-person course, and thereby becoming “trained”, coaches must complete their evaluations and the Make Ethical Decisions online module through CAC (Coaches Association of Canada) to become a “certified coach”.
