NCCP Training
NCCP Overview
The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is a coach training and certification program for all coaches in more than 60 sports. The NCCP has moved towards a competency-based approach where coaches are:
- trained in NCCP outcomes relevant to the participants that they are coaching;
- evaluated by demonstrating coaching outcomes to a specified standard.
Competencies & outcomes
Five core competencies are woven into the training and evaluation components of the NCCP. They are:
- Valuing
- Interacting
- Leading
- Problem-solving
- Critical thinking
These core competencies are integral to the seven generic coaching outcomes which are:
- Make ethical decisions
- Provide support to athletes in training
- Plan a practice
- Support the competitive experience
- Analyze performance
- Design a sport program
- Manage a program
These outcomes can be attributed to coaches working with any level of athlete in any environment.
