Coaching Certification
The Canadian 5-Pin Bowlers' Association offers the following NCCP workshops.
Community Coach: Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or volunteer coach, you will have the skills required to teach the basics of 5-pin bowling to new bowlers of all ages after completing this workshop. With 8 hours in-class and on-lane, you will learn general coaching skills such as ethical decision making, how to run a practice, how to analyze performance, as well as basic bowling technical skills.
Competition Coach: This 2.5-day workshop will help you move from being a Community Sport coach to a Competition coach who works with elite athletes of any age range. A mix of classroom and bowling centre training sessions enables hands-on learning of integrating Long-term Athlete Development (LTAD) into practices, coaching theory, and bowling specific skills.
