About the NCCP Program
The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a coach training and certification program for all coaches in more than 60 sports. Coaches in the sport of baseball can receive training and/or certification at a community sport level, competition level or instructional level.
The Initiation Coach, being offered by Bow Ridge Little League, is the first level of The new Baseball Canada Coach program and is designed to provide valuable and accessible resources and training to coaches who are introducing and continuing to work with children in community level baseball programs. The Initiation Coach Program 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 Provincial/local 5-6 hour, on-field clinic that you
attend after completing the On-line Library. The clinic covers practice sessions,
the fundamentals of the game and ethical decision-making.
Your coaching status in the Baseball Canada Initiation Coach program will be:
Trained
In addition to having continual access to online video drills, materials, practice plans and skill development tools you will also receive a NCCP coaching card that indicates your status in the program.
Why Attend
The NCCP training is highly recommended for several reasons:
· It is a great introduction to the game for those who have just started coaching.
· Provides a progression path to those wishing to increase their coaching knowledge.
· It will assist you with becoming a great coach and helping the children become the best they can be.
