NCCP Multi-Sport Courses

Multi-sport coaching modules are theory courses that have been developed to support your development as a coach. The information provided in these courses can be applied to all sports, and may work towards a trained or certified status in your coach pathway. Multisport NCCP courses can also be counted towards your maintenance of certification, worth 5 points per course. You can complete most of the multi-sport modules in two ways; through an in-class session or through our home study program. Some sports have integrated the multi-sport modules within their sport specific components.
