NCCP ICC WORKSHOP - May 13-14, 2016

The “ICC” Workshop is designed to provide parents and other beginner coaches with basic information and a feeling of confidence as they begin their role as a coach. It teaches coaches how to deliver a series of age-appropriate skill development sessions under the supervision of more experienced coaches. The orientation is to skiers of all age groups with an emphasis on working with children under six years of age (“Active Start” stage of athlete development). Coaches are taught basic coaching skills, how to teach the fundamentals of technique, growth and development considerations, how to create a motivating learning environment, and how to set up a ski playground. It is entry level, and there are no prerequisites except enthusiasm and the minimum age requirement of 14 years.   

10 hours. The workshop fee for CCC/CCBC members is $80.00.
