Aboriginal Coaching Module 

The professional development of Aboriginal coaches through NCCP certification has been identified by the Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) as a national priority. In order to educate and promote the value of the NCCP and to establish meaningful participation of Aboriginal peoples in this national program, the ASC embarked on a multi-year process to develop supplemental training material for Aboriginal coaches taking NCCP workshops. The result of this process is the Aboriginal Coaching Modules (ACM), which responds to the need for a national training curriculum with content that reflects the uniqueness of Aboriginal cultures, values, and lifestyles.

The ACM is a professional development training tool for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal coaches who coach Aboriginal athletes, as they become certified through the NCCP. To learn more about when the next ACM’s are, please e-mail: masrcoperations@sportmanitoba.ca. 

The Next ACM is Scheduled for Sunday, September 15th from 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM at the Canada Games Sport for Life Centre (Basement Theater).
