COACHES
A coach is one of the most influential people in a young person's life. Coaches don't just teach how to play handball but how to win and lose graciously.

Certification is achieved through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).
However, Coach Education is much broader than a simple certification course. Alberta's annual Coaching Symposium (to be confirmed for (2021) is a great way to improve one's knowledge and network with other coaches.
