The Coaching Association of Canada has announced the launch of their new e-learning module for concussion awareness. "Making head Way" has been designed to help coaches gain the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of their athletes. This multi-sport module will cover: what to do to prevent concussions, how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion, what to do when you suspect an athlete has a concussion, and how to ensure athletes return to play safely. For a limited time this on-line module is free to all coaches and the course will also be recorded as professional development on coaches transcripts.

The Atlantic Coaches Conference  (April 26th 27th) was a huge success attracting over 175 coaches from across the Atlantic provinces. Club, School, Provincial, School and University coaches were all represented. The purpose of the conference was to provide an opportiunity for acoaches to engage in professional development, now a requirement of the NCCP for coaches to retain certification. Key note speaker, Stephen Norris provided a thought provoking opening on the Friday night and challenged coaches to meet the needs of the atheletes they are coaching. Overall the conference was well recieved by all participants and we are quickly planning the 2014  program set for the 25th 26th April.
