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.

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!
The new NCCP model is made up of two streams for BASKETBALL and a total of five contexts, each with its
own coaching requirements.

the new NCCP model, click

Stream 1 – Community
Sport
Coaches in the Community Sport stream
typically become involved on a voluntary (and often
short-term) basis because their children participate
in a sport. They tend to work with participants of all
ages who are new to the sport. The Community Sport stream
has two coaching contexts: Initiation and Ongoing participation.
Stream 2 – Competition
Coaches in the Competition stream usually
have previous coaching experience or are former athletes
in the sport. They tend to work with athletes over the
long term to improve performance, often in preparation
for provincial, national, and international competitions.
The Competition stream has three coaching contexts:
Introduction, Development, and High performance.
