Club Coach – has effectively taken the place of Level 1 Technical. Therefore, effective September 1, 2010, the term “Level 1 Technical” will cease to exist within curling training. Coaches will no longer have to complete Intro to Competition ‘A’ Multi sport training or a practical workbook. They will simply be “Club Coach Trained.” Please note, member associations may need to adjust rules for competition stating that either Level 1 Certification or Club Coach “Trained” will be acceptable for coaching at those applicable competitions.

Competition Coach – has effectively taken the place of Level 2 Technical. The certification (evaluation) process for Competition Coach replaces Level 2 Practical and Intro to Competition B Multisport training. Effective, September 1, 2010, the term “Level 2 Technical” will cease to exist within curling training. Please note, member associations may need to adjust rules for competition stating that either Level 2 Certification or Competition Coach Certification will be acceptable for coaching at those applicable competitions.

Coaches who are partially complete their Level 2 Certification

Coaches who are partially complete their Level 2 Certification, and still have their Level 2 Practical workbooks/hours outstanding will have until April 30, 2011 to submit their Practical requirements to their
member associations. Member associations will have one month to mark and submit their Coach Registration Forms to the CCA/CAC (May 31, 2011). Forms received after this date will not be recognized as the database transfer (old to new) will be occurring shortly after that date and we will not be able to data enter coaches into the old data base after that date.

Please note, some provinces have already fully transitioned to Competition Coach and are no longer accepting Level 2 practical workbooks, please contact your Member Association.
