Description: Whether you are new to coaching or have been actively coaching for a while, this on-line workshop is the first step towards becoming an NCCP certified coach. It aims to ensure a common base of coaching knowledge and understanding of the values that guide the delivery of fencing in Canada.

Overall goal: Fencing coaches in Canada keep foremost in their minds, the well being of each fencer in their care by planning, leading camp; overseeing fencing programs and activities that intentionally reflect the values of inclusiveness, safety, fairness and respect. Furthermore, coaches keep in mind the CFF core values: they are athlete-focused to support fencers in achieving their goals at every level; they work to achieve excellence in performance camp; operations; they support a culture of respect and work together to achieve objectives; they conduct themselves professionally in their work.

Note: If you have taken NCCP fencing workshops prior to 2020, you are not required to take this workshop; however, to be up-to-date about the values which are expected to guide coaching behaviour in Canada, this workshop is recommended.

Sharing your Knowledge – The Zoom sessions will include opportunities for breakout groups as well as whole group sharing. We want to keep the flow of information going, while still giving you an opportunity to collaborate and share your perspectives. Please be ready to lend your voice to the conversations.
