Programs > NCCP (Coaches)

 

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a nation-wide training program designed to develop coaching excellence. Coaches wanting to get certified take an On-Line Program, followed by a Training Module which the coaches attend. The Coaching Certification Program is structured so that coaches take the material that is relevant to the age category they are coaching.

For provincial teams in Mosquito, Pee Wee, Bantam, Midget and Senior AA, AA Tier II, A and A2 at least one coach must have either the "OLD NCCP SYSTEM" Full Level 1 Certification (Level 1 Technical, Practical and Theory) and Online Making Ethical Decisions Module, or in the "NEW NCCP SYSTEM" the Online Module and In-Person Initiation Clinic.

Initiation Coach Program

Baseball Canada has designed a program that will provide valuable and accessible resources and training to coaches who are introducing or working with children in community level baseball programs. The program, called "Initiation Coach" is comprised of two parts:

· Baseball Canada's On-line Library - a complete resource to help get you started and a place to revisit often while you coach children's baseball and

· Initiation Coach Clinic - a local 4 hour, on-field clinic that you attend after completing the On-line module. The clinic covers practice sessions, the fundamentals of the game and ethical decision making.

Upon completion of the Baseball Canada On-line module a coach's status in the Baseball Canada Initiation Coach program will be In Training. Once they have completed the Local Initiation Coach Clinic Module, their coaching status in the Baseball Canada Initiation Coach program will be Trained. With this on-line tool, they will receive interactive instruction on various areas of the game, exams testing their knowledge of the information provided and access to the Better Coaches Drill Library with hundreds of drills demonstrated through videos and images for $37.45 (includes tax) per year. The Local Initiation Coach Clinic will cost an additional $30.00, for a total of cost of $67.45.

For provincial teams in Pee Wee, Bantam, Midget, Junior and Senior AAA, ALL coaches must either have under the "OLD NCCP SYSTEM" Full Level 1 Certification (Level 1 Technical, Practical and Theory), with Level 2 Technical and Online Making Ethical Decisions Module  or in the "NEW NCCP SYSTEM" take the Initiation Coach Program as described above, followed by the Regional Coach Modules of Teaching and Learning,Skills Analysis, and Planning, along with the Making Ethical Decisions On-Line module. Please see the attached NCCP chart for details.

The Theory component that had been required in the past is now integrated with the new modules, so coaches will not have to sacrifice as much time to get their certification.
