Why is there no L1 Technical Certification offered?
Field Hockey Canada is currently revamping the NCCP Level 1 Technical Certification course which should come online in late spring of this year. We have therefore stopped offering the existing L1 curriculum as it will soon be out of date. All our coaches are being advised to:
- Invest in Community Coach Certification if they currently are not certified at all and are looking to:
- coach primarily young Juniors (10-12yrs) who are just being introduced to the game
- coach at the high school, middle school, elementary school or club level and have no desire or time to invest heavily in coaching
- coach on a short term basis with athletes of all ages who are new to the sport and have more of a recreational focus
- have a simple but comprehensive introduction to formal coaching certification to see if it might be a good fit for them
- Invest in L2 Technical certification if they are:
- Already fully certified at L1
- Are looking to coach a competitive team and would normally be taking the L1 Technical certification at this point
