The CAC has changed the minimum age requirement from 16 to 14 years of age and Ringette Canada is pleased to announce that it will be complying with this new change allowing a wider range of individuals to take NCCP coaching courses. Ringette Canada is proud to offer this opportunity to younger potential coaches; enabling them to be educated and trained according to national standards, thereby offering our young ringette players quality coaching, even at the youngest levels. Individuals from 14 to 16 years of age will be trained, but not considered certified until their 16th birthday.

The Search Is On for the Chunky MVC: Most Valuable Coach

The Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is thrilled to announce its new partnership with the Campbell’s® Chunky® brand. This partnership kicks-off with the Chunky MVC: Most Valuable Coach contest in which sport organizations can invite their teams and communities to nominate dedicated coaches who make a real difference. This campaign is designed to give and share the recognition great coaches deserve.

Each year, thousands of coaches selflessly give of themselves to continually improve their team, their sport and their community, and Campbell’s Chunky and CAC want to recognize that effort. The winner will receive the Chunky MVC Tribute Day to be featured on TSN, among other prizes.

If you know a coach that deserves recognition for the outstanding work they do, then go to www.chunky.ca/mvc and nominate that coach to be the Chunky MVC!
