<u>What is ‘Competition – Introduction, Softball’?</u><br>
Competition – Introduction, Softball is the first Coaching Clinic available in the NCCP Competitive Stream. In the Competitive Stream, Coaches usually have previous coaching experience or are former athletes in the sport. They tend to work with athletes over the long term to improve performance, often in preparation for provincial, national, and international competitions. There are three (3) components to Competition Introduction, Softball which include:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">
What to Coach (16 hours)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">
How to Coach (16 hours)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">
On Field Evaluation (2 hours)</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;color: #505050;font-family: Arial;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;">
