MARCH/APRIL 2018 THE RIDER /61 Future Direction for Equestrian Canada Coaching


Ottawa, ON, March 8, 2018 - The Equestrian Canada (EC) Board of Directors, in consul- tation with our Provincial and Territorial Sports Organiza- tions (PTSO’s) and with advice from the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC), is announc- ing a change to the way coach- ing is being developed for equestrian sports. The previous National


Coaching Committee that was responsible for all aspects of coaching review and develop- ment will be dissolved and in its place two committees will be created to better meet the operational and technical needs of coaching. One will focus on the operational aspects and de- livery of coaching services and the other will focus on the tech- nical aspects and developing the pathways


to certify


coaches. The new National Coach-


ing Operational Committee (NCOC) will be comprised of PTSO appointed members and EC staff. The NCOC will be responsible for all aspects of delivering coaching services across the country in collabo- ration with, and on behalf of, EC.


The new National Coach-


ing Technical Committee (NCTC) will be comprised of technical experts who have Na- tional Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) skills and/or are Master Coach Developers. These experts will review and further develop the coaching certification pathways for each equestrian discipline. Both committees will


have support from the CAC so that expertise on national sport- ing organization best practices can be incorporated into the Equestrian NCCP. The Board believes that


through the NCOC, with the PTSOs focused on the delivery of coaching services to their participants, they are in the best position to identify best practices and areas of concern and growth with coaching in their regions. EC’s role will be to enable their efforts by pro- viding opportunities to ex- change knowledge, resources to overcome challenges, and strategic guidance on how to ensure future coaching require- ments are met. Having the NCTC of


coaching experts collaborating and focused on the technical aspects of reviewing and de- veloping the certification path-
