Carleton Place Figure Skating Club Coaches
* Skate Canada is a firm believer in the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). This program is conducted in partnership with the Coaching Association of Canada. Every coach registered with Skate Canada is, at a minimum, a level one certified coach.
* The NCCP is a five-level education program for coaches and includes general theory and sport specific technical and pracitical components.
* The role of the coach is to teach and develop a skater's techincal ability. They are also role models for young people.
* Coaches play an important role in shaping the skater's attitudes towards skating as well as their personal values, such as sportsmanship, discipline and work ethic.
All the Carleton Place skating programs are run by NCCP trained coaches.
Selecting a Coach
* The coaching of figure skating in Canada and most other countries is done on a professional basis. Individuals make their coaching services available for a fee.
* When hiring a coach, the club can provide information about the coaches available to teach your son or daughter or you can contact the coach directly.
* The coach should be one that the skater feels comfortable with, and one you both respect as an individual as well as a teacher. You want a coach who treats your child with respect and who is interested in your child's development as a person as well as a skater.
* Regular meetings and planning sessions between the coach and parents are important. You should keep the coach informed about the skater's educational commitments, financial constraints and other information that may impact on the skater's training. This is a good time to discuss any concerns and ask questions about your skater's progress.
