Welcome to the National Coaching Certification Program!  The NCCP is a coach training and certification program for 65 different sports and is offered in both official languages across Canada. NCCP workshops are designed to meet the needs of all types of coaches, from the first-time coach to the head coach of a national team. The NCCP is the recognized national standard for coach training and certification in Canada. As part of the program, all coaches are trained in ethical decision-making and sport safety.

You can find a current list of all NCCP Basketball Clinics to the right side of this page under the large orange arrow. Click one of the dates shown to begin the registration process. If you do not see a list of clinics to the right, you must first REGISTER or login with this web site to proceed.

The emphasis of the new NCCP has been on developing competent coaches – an exciting step towards helping them to become more effective and have a more meaningful impact on an athlete’s experience. Each year, more than 50,000 coaches take an NCCP workshop and since it began, more than 1 million coaches have participated in the program, making it one of Canada’s largest adult education programs.

Over the past few years, the NCCP in partnership with Canada Basketball has been revamped to recognize the changing landscape of today’s sport and coaching needs by adding the Community Sport and Competition Streams.  The Community Sport Stream of the NCCP caters to coaches specifically working with children in a recreational basketball system, including the WMBA community centre leagues.  The Competition Stream caters to coaches of school and club based leagues like the Rising Stars League run by the WMBA. The Community Coach system has been developed to replace what was known as ‘Level 1 Technical’ and ‘Level 1 Theory’, while the Competition Stream has been developed to replace what was known as 'Level 2 Technical' and 'Level 2 Theory'.  These two clinics have been combined and refined to meet the coaching demands of today!
