Coaches

COACH CLINIC OVERVIEW

Each clinic's content is developed by Hockey Canada and the member Branches (Hockey Manitoba) train people to teach the clinics and implement the content to coaches. There is no ladder of pre-requisites to climb; coaches simply take the certification path that is applicable to the age/category of the athlete they are currently coaching.

WHAT DO I NEED TO COACH?

- ALL coaches must have Respect in Sport certification by December 1, 2010. Previous Speak Out clinic certification is equivalent to Respect in Sport.
