Q- What course should I take if I want to coach high school, elementary school, etc.?

A- Based on our LTAD model we have broken the NCCP Clinics down into four different streams: community sport, competition introduction, competition development and high performance.

Each of these streams focuses on different levels of competition in the sport.

Each clinic is targeted for specific age ranges:

• FUNdamentals F 6-8, M6-9
• Learn to Train F 8-11, M 9-12
• Train to Tain F 11-15, M12-16
• Train to Compete, F 15-18+, M16-18+

Please note that these provided age targets are just guidelines, and coaches can take further certification than is recommended.
