Coaching Certification and Clinics 2024

MINIMUM COACHING CERTIFICATION STANDARDS FOR COACHES

Anyone on the bench (including people opening and closing doors) must be a ‘certified coach‘ or a certified ‘trainer‘. Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches will be held to the same standard at ALL levels

There are 3 levels of certification for each coaching level:

• ‘In Training‘ - you have completed the preclinic assessment and are waiting to take clinic or you have taken the clinic and are waiting for your attendance to be marked
• ‘Trained‘ - you have taken the clinic , completed the workbook(if applicable) and it has been successfully marked
• ‘Certified‘ - you have taken the clinic, completed the workbook and a Master Facilitator has completed an ‘in person‘ assessment for you

 - In order to coach a TEAM ALBERTA team, a coach must be ‘Certified‘ which means that a Master Learning Facilitator has completed an ‘in person‘ review and assessment of the coach and they have passed this successfully.
