Why Coach?
There are many reasons why people get involved in coaching a community sport. Here are a few:

• As parents we want to spend time with our child in an active way;
• as individuals we want to volunteer and get involved in our community;
• as teachers we have taken on extra-curricular school activities;
• as athletes we want to pursue our passion in a different direction and give back to our community;
• as fans we simply love sport and want to give coaching a try.

Community Coaches

Competitive Coaches
You’re typically a coach who has previous coaching experience or you’re a former athlete. You may already coach a team at the regional or provincial level, and you tend to work with athletes over the long term to improve performance.

Instructors
Instructors in the Instruction stream must have sport-specific skills and training, whether at the beginner or advanced skill level. Many are former participants in the sport.
