Coaches are invaluable in the development of an athlete's skills. They are teachers and mentors for the thousands of young athletes they interact with in their day-to-day work. They work not only with athletes but also the athlete's parents in setting realistic goals and the training required to reach their potential and their goals. All Skate Canada coaches are required to be trained and/or certified in the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).

We are now accepting payments by PayPal for Coaching Courses (NCCP). You have the option of paying by Cheque, Money Order or PayPal.

Please remember that you still must register using the Registration Form which can be filled out online.

All EOS Coaches must have a current Photo ID and must wear it at all times to all competitions. Coaches not presenting proper identification will have to purchase a temporary ID at the competition to gain access to the boards. Photo ID is renewed each time you recertify your First Aid or when your Coaching Level changes.
