The Requirements webpage shows the mandatory coaching requirements for National Championships.

There may be different requirements for Provincial/Territorial events, contact your PTA representative to find out.

The NCCP Pathways webpage shows all the requirements for certification of each context. Visit the individual sections of Development Coach, Advanced Development Coach and Performance Coach to see the steps required.

Assistant coaches are encouraged to continually work toward certification, however their certification will not be monitored at 2016-17 National Championships. Contact your Provincial/Territorial Association for local requirements.

Please email your Provincial Coaching Representative or coach@coach.ca and describe what is missing. In order for Provincial Associations to track what is missing they will need as much information as possible, such as:

• Location and approximate date of the course
• The names of anyone who participated in the course (facilitator or coach)
• Any materials (manuals, workbooks, etc.) that you received from the course

Based on our LTAD model we have broken the NCCP Clinics down into three different streams: community stream, development stream, and performance stream. 

Each of these streams focuses on different levels of competition in the sport.

Each clinic is targeted for specific age ranges:

Community Stream

• Elementary Volleyball Leader - Fundamentals and Learn to Train (6-12) (available soon)

Development Stream

• Development Coach - Train to Train (13-16)
• Advanced Development Coach - Learn to Compete (17-18)

Performance Stream

• Performance Coach - Train to Compete (19-22)
• Advanced Performance Coach - Learn to Win (19+)
• High Performance Coach - Train to Win

*Please note that these age targets are just guidelines, and coaches can take further certification than is recommended. 

Until April 1, 2019, Coaches who have taken the old Level 1 Technical/Development Coach workshop may be evaluated by any coach who is Level 2 certified or Advanced Development Coach certified. Any coaches who have taken the new Development Coach workshop (beginning on Sept 1, 2018) must be evaluated by a "Trained" or "Certified" Coach Evaluator.

Advanced Development Coach candidates must be evaluated by a "Trained" Evaluator. The Coaching Centre will automatically initiate the process to designate an Evaluator or contact your Provincial/Territorial Volleyball Association to find a qualified Evaluator. 

Performance Coach candidates can initiate the evaluation process through the VC Coaching Centre, or by contacting Volleyball Canada to find a qualified Evaluator (jsneddon@volleyball.ca).

For coaches who have completed the old Level 1 Technical, or a Development Coach workshop prior to Sept 1, 2018, there is typically no charge. However, Evaluators may require cost recovery or a small honoraria. For those coaches who have taken or will take the new Development Coach workshop (after Sept 1, 2018), evaluation costs will be $120 per coach.

For the Advanced Development Coach context, there is a charge of $120 initiated within the VC Coaching Centre for the marking of the portfolio and in-person evaluation.
