The Learn to Coach Clinic offers coaches the opportunity to become
Trained Community Coaches recognized by the National Coaching
Certification Program (NCCP).  Aimed at coaches who are working
with players under the age of twelve (12) years, the Learn to
Coach Clinics are a great way to build confidence in new volunteer
coaches and improve the quality of coaching within your Softball
Association.  Trained Coaches will be able to introduce players
to the game of softball in a safe, fun and inclusive environment
regardless of the player’s skill level.

Free Learn to Coach Clinics have an approximate value of $45
(plus GST) per participant.  For 2007 only, Associations who
did not receive one of the twenty free clinics have the opportunity
to host a Learn to Coach Clinic at the discounted rate of $28.50
(including GST) per participant.  Discounted clinics are still
available; email Lisa Crompton at lcrompton at softballontario.ca
