CAS  – NCCP Upcoming Courses

Grant Applications

 

We want to celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by raising awareness about disability issues, promoting the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities THROUGH SPORT, and encouraging participation in the E-Module.

The NCCP Coaching Athletes with a Disability is an eLearning module providing the knowledge to deliver quality, positive sport experiences for athletes, specifically those with behavioural, intellectual, physical, and sensory disabilities. It is a resource for coaches who are new to coaching athletes with a disability. Many coaches who are already working with athletes with a disability will also find the module useful.

This module will prepare you to develop inclusive sport experiences and to communicate effectively and respectfully with and about persons with a disability. After completing NCCP Coaching Athletes with a Disability, you will be able to:

• Understand different disabilities in order to create a safe, welcoming environment
• Expand perceptions about people with disabilities
• Understand the basics of coaching people with disabilities
• Apply relevant principles to adapt your coaching environment for people of all abilities
• Understand that participation in sport is a right for people of all abilities and provides a range of physical and mental health benefits

 

Upon NCCP certification, PCD will re-imburse your Coaching Athletes with a Disability registration fee.

Limited Budget, Apply Early.
