                    KidsCurl Program  

The Canadian Curling Association, in partnership with the Coaching Association of Canada and Tim Hortons, has launched a new coach development program designed to assist community coaches who are involved specifically with youth curlers.

The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) is moving towards a competency-based approach where coaches are trained in NCCP outcomes relevant to the age and ability of the participants that they will be coaching.

The Tim Hortons KidsCurl Coach Development Progarm is a 7 hour workshop that deals with everything from basic delivery/sweeping mechanics to program safety, set-up and logistics. It is designed for the community coach who is working with young curlers (8 to 12 years of age) and is introducing the basic skills of curling. The goals of this workshop are to help prepare coaches to coach KidsCurl participants.

The focus of the workshop is:

bulletprepare a safe KidsCurl activity session;
bulletmaking appropriate decisions when you are faced with legal or ethical situations that are likely to occur in a KidsCurl environment;
bulletleading KidsCurl activities in a way that is suitable for children, safe and technically correct for beginning curlers;
bulletmodeling exemplary coaching behaviours during KidsCurl activities

For more information regarding the new NCCP Competency Based Education Training Program, visit the Coaching Association of Canada website at http://www.coach.ca.
