Competition-Introduction Multi-Sport Modules – This context is designed for Coaches of athletes moving from the FUNdamentals to the Learn to Train and Train to Train stages of Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD).

The context consists of five modules: Make Ethical Decision, Planning a Practice,  Design a Basic Sport Program, Teaching and Learning, and Basic Mental Skills.

Many of these have been integrated by sports into their own Sport-Specific workshops while other sports require their Coaches to take them separately through our network. All of these Multi-Sport modules can help you reach higher as a Coach, and can also be counted towards maintenance of certification.

We are excited that Coach NB has received a grant through the Go NB Grant Program for 2021 . The Go NB Grant will allow Coach NB to reduce the rate for the multi-sport modules by 60%.  The Sport & Recreation Branch from the Dept of Tourism, Heritage, and culture is committed to providing funding in support of our NB coaches.   Please note this is only available for NB resident Coaches. We will accept registrations from coaches from other provinces, however we can not offer the discounted rate.

We’re trying to find new ways to support our NB coaches and reduce any barriers that keep coaches from being the best they can be!
