Update on NCCP Policy Development
CAC has a number of policies related to the NCCP that are currently in different stages of development. The consultation/development process for each policy is different based on the complexity of the issues to be considered and the urgency for an approved policy.

Updating the National Coaching Institute Diploma Program
As the NCCP moves towards a competency-based approach the National Coaching Institutes (NCIs) are also evolving. Their mandate is moving towards developing advanced coaches in all contexts, helping coaches progress along the "novice to expert continuum" from certified status to advanced certification.

Competition – Development Goes Online
The Developing Athletic Abilities module in the Competition – Development context is using an online delivery format for a pre-workshop session that is a pre-requisite for the nine-hour in-class workshop.

Coaching Masters Athletes
Masters sport is one of the fastest growing age categories in sport and physical activity. One of the unique characteristics of this category is the tremendously broad age range.
In response to this rapidly growing population, the NCCP is developing the “Coaching Masters Athletes Handbook”.

Competition – Development National Master Learning Facilitator
CAC, in partnership with the Provincial and Territorial Coaching Representatives (PTCRs), is pleased to announce the creation of a new role within the NCCP: Competition – Development National Master Learning Facilitator (MLF). Four to five individuals will be selected to fill this role and will form the Competition – Development MLF National Team.

Examples of Competition – Development Pathways
There are likely as many different ways to implement the Competition – Development context as there are sports. Hopefully some of these examples will provide you with ideas on how to implement it in your sport.

The Value of a Modular Design in Competition – Introduction Course
Canada Basketball is in the process of training Learning Facilitators to deliver their new NCCP Competition – Introduction course, Basketball - Intro to Comp to their coaches. They have developed a modular approach similar to the multi-sport modules offered by the provinces and territories.

Combining NCCP and Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD): Taekwondo Canada’s example
In an effort to save cost and ensure consistency during the development of their LTAD and first NCCP context, Taekwondo Canada coordinated simultaneous development meetings. Most of the LTAD committee members are also on the NCCP development committee. This way, they can share the cost between their CAC and LTAD budgets.
