Become a Coach<\/h2>\n

Sport plays an important role in the lives of many Canadians. Quality coaching is key to a positive sport experience for participants. Bowls Canada Boulingrin recommends that all coaches become trained and certified in the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) to ensure that coaches have the tools and knowledge they need to work effectively.<\/p>\n

Bowls Canada NCCP<\/h3>\n

The NCCP, which launched in 1974 and is delivered in partnership with the government of Canada, provincial\/territorial governments, and national\/provincial\/territorial sport organizations, endorses national standards in coach education and certification. The NCCP is a training and certification program for coaches, offered across Canada in more than 65 sports. The program was designed to meet the needs of a wide range of coaches \u2013 from those who introduce beginners to sport to those who work with Canada\u2019s high performance athletes. The NCCP empowers coaches with knowledge and skills, promotes ethics, fosters positive attitudes, builds competence, and increases the credibility and recognition of coaches.<\/p>\n

Bowls Canada currently has two coaching programs that meet NCCP national standards: Bowls Club Coach and Bowls Competition Coach<\/p>\n

LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 are no longer offered by the NCCP partnership or by Bowls Canada. The Bowls Club Coach and Bowls Competition Coach programs replace the old Level 1 and Level 2.<\/p>\n
