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 they are coaching
(recreational participants to National level athletes); - evaluated by demonstrating coaching outcomes to a specified standard.
To learn more about the NCCP, visit the Coaching Association of Canada web site and refer to the Luge Canada NCCP Operations Manual
Luge Canada has defined a participant and a coach development model as well as 1 pathway in order to clarify how one goes about becoming a certified coach, and to demonstrate the overall vision of the federation for its coaches and participants in the years to come.
Development Models
Competition Development Certification
Intended for coaches who want to enhance their repertoire of Luge skills and possibly enter their athletes into competition, Coaches will learn in-depth planning, supporting and improving athlete competition skills, and a detailed overview of the rules governing Luge’s competitive settings.
It is also for senior level coaches working with Provincial Team athletes, this mix of multisport and Luge specific modules will provide well-rounded training for developing competitive athletes. Participants will learn to manage a competitive sport program, effectively deal with sport psychology and ethical issues, as well as learn to analyze and evaluate skill and performance.
