The New Certification

How Will Coaches Achieve Certification

Certification will be granted by sport and by context. Each NSF will determine which coaching contexts apply to its coach training and certification program. For certification purposes, coaches will be required to demonstrate their ability to achieve outcomes identified for their coaching context within a number of important coaching functions.

The future of the NCCP will make a distinction between coach training and coach certification. Coaches who need training will have opportunities to acquire or refine the skills, knowledge and attitudes deemed important to coach effectively in a particular context. When they are ready, coaches may decide to be evaluated for certification purposes.
