Coaching Association of Canada

When you pass along your knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion in sport, you do so much more than simply "coach." You build confidence and self-esteem in your participants. You model good citizenship. And you impart important values such as inclusiveness, fairness, and dedication.

Three Steps to Responsible Coaching

Coaching comes with responsibility – including supporting your participants' right to a safe and positive environment. When participants and their parents entrust you with leadership, they're trusting that you have taken the steps to become a responsible coach. Support this trust – and your own skills – by learning and implementing the Three Steps to Responsible Coaching.

The Three Steps to Responsible Coaching are a learning approach that supports coaches with the training and knowledge they need to ensure a safe (open and observable), healthy, and fun sport environment.
