National Coaches Week is a week to celebrate the tremendous positive impact coaches have on athletes and communities across Canada. It’s an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play by simply saying #ThanksCoach.

Whether you’re from a National Sport Organization, Provincial / Territorial Aboriginal Sport Body, University, club, or if you’re a coach, parent, or athlete, we want your help saying #ThanksCoach to coaches from coast to coast to coast.

The documents in this Participation Guide will help you plan your own National Coaches Week events and activities. We encourage you to adapt them to the needs of your organization to make them meaningful to your coaches, participants, and parents.
