Coach Certification Requirements

Hockey Alberta is responsible for the training and development of coaches, including all NCCP levels, the Hockey Canada Safety Program and the Checking Skills Program. All coach clinics/qualifications (including Respect in Sport-Activity Leader and Police Information Check), as well as rostered team history, can be viewed on your Hockey Canada Registry 3.0 (Spordle) account.

For instructions on how to view your coaching qualifications/CRC on HCR 3.0 Spordle, please review this Access Guide.

SEERA Hockey will host in house clinics heading into next season for the following: 

• ​Coach 1 in class and on ice

• Dates will be emailed / posted when available.

 

Course Information:

• Coach 1 - Intro to Coach is not necessarily targeted to the inexperienced coach. This program shows coaches how to teach hockey's basic skills while keeping the theme of their practices with an emphasis on fun and fundamentals.  Coach 1 reviews  the basic tools they will need in the areas of leadership, communication, teaching skills, and lesson planning. All this is taught with the special considerations of the youngest athletes in mind.
• Coach 2 - Coach Level emphasizes basic skills and the importance of having players develop confidence, self-esteem and a love for the game. 

 

Manuals with progressive practice plans are provided at each in-person clinic, these help to eliminate much of the planning necessary to ensure a fun and effective practice and remove much of the demand from coaches who often find themselves with little time to plan their practices.
