D. Most of you should be aware of the new NCCP programs that are available. A good source for the program is at: http://footballalberta.ab.ca/web/coaching/nccp.php What is offered now is the Community Sport for novice or parent type coaches. This is available online at Football www.footballalberta.ab.ca Canada’s website at (http://www.footballcanada.com/Home/tabid/38/language/en-CA/Default.aspx). The other course available through Football Alberta is the Competition Introduction at Position. We still have to train our Learning Facilitators (LF’s) for the next module that will be offered next year. This will be Competition Introduc- tion at Coordinator. Coaches must attend the Competition at Position course and have taken at least two positions to qualify for the Coordinator clinic. To take the second Competition at Position, you would not have to attend the classroom portion, just the position technical module that is taught. All coaches must take the Making Ethical Decisions (MED) course online at the Coaching Association of Canada (www.coach.ca) and click the Locker. In order to remain active this has to be taken over the next four years. For coaches who want to be certified you would need to have Competition at Position or Coordinator, Course work- book sent in to us, MED online course and be evaluated. We will have Evaluators available for next year. For coaches who do not want to be certified they would have ‘Trained’ status with the Coaching Association of Cana- da’s database. For coaches taking the courses they would be ‘In Training’. So there are several options for coaches to go through the system from wanting to be just a parent coach for 2-3 years, to being Trained or coaches who want to be Certified and move up the ladder in coaching development oppor- tunities. Football Alberta Annual Team Fundraiser—not available in 2014 Unfortunately we will no longer be offering the Pull Ticket team fundraiser due to Gaming and licencing criteria. Since this raffle has to be licenced now, it does not work with how we offered the booklets before. We sincerely ap- preciate all of the teams who participated in this program in the past.
