SportAbility’s Coach Masterclass
Welcome to SportAbility’s Coach Masterclass. The purpose of this program is to provide individuals seeking a coaching role with a progressive structure that can support building their confidence and proficiency to become a strong sport leader while implementing a safe sport environment in one or more of SportAbility’s identified sports (Boccia, Para Ice Hockey, and Power Soccer). We are currently running a pilot program of the Coach Masterclass for current SportAbility coaches and volunteers. Note that this process will also require undergoing SportAbility’s updated screening process for staff and volunteers.Financial support is also available for these groups within budget limits.
