NCCP CCI-L2T WORKSHOPS

The CCI program develops skills and provides tools that a coach can use to (1) create a fun, team oriented environment that will motivate children to achieve their personal goals in sport and develop a lifelong interest in the fitness and health benefits of cross country skiing, and (2) deliver a well-rounded sport program with an emphasis on skill development to children nine to 12 years of age (the Learning to Train (L2T) stage of athlete development).

All coaches attending the 2016 BC Winter Games in Penticton will be required to have NCCP CCI - L2T certification (see below).

CCI-L2T (Dryland) Workshop (18 hrs): This is the first half of the CCI-L2T program and the third step in the NCCP progression. Coaches are taught about developmental age, physical literacy, team building, athletic components (aerobic fitness, speed, etc.), nutrition, how to design their own sport program, adventure-based activities (year-round), roller-skiing and planning a practice. Successful completion of the NCCP Community Coach Workshop is a prerequisite.

Payment: The workshop fee for CCC/CCBC members is $100.00
