Hockey Canada's Atlantic Regional Centre to Host High Performance 1 Coaching Seminar

February 1, 2010

Saint John, NB – Hockey Canada’s Atlantic Regional Centre will be hosting a NCCP High Performance I (formerly Advanced I) Seminar which will be held from July 18th-24th in Antigonish, NS on the campus of St. Francis Xavier University.

In an effort to continue to provide a wider range of professional development for interested and qualified coaches, this seminar will be combining coaching education and an athlete development camp.

The NCCP High Performance I Program will feature professional speakers who will deliver sessions featuring topics such as special teams, yearly plan, offensive/defensive individual tactics, offensive/defensive team play systems, goaltending and much more. You will have the opportunity to learn from some of the top coaches and hockey minds in Atlantic Canada, as well as other presenters from around the country.

The theory of coaching will be merged with the on ice application of coaching. In addition to classroom lectures and tasks, the selected coaches will plan and run on-ice sessions and participate on the bench in game situations for a portion of the Hockey Nova Scotia Male Under 14 and Male Under 15 Summer Camps.

It is the commitment of the Atlantic Branches to work with the already existing Provincial Branch Summer Camp to provide an exceptional professional development opportunity.

The NCCP High Performance I Seminar is held every two years in Atlantic Canada and is targeted at those coaches who have significant coaching experience, and want to pursue higher levels of coaching competitive athletes.

The cost to attend the Seminar is $800.00 which includes all materials, presentations, gift, and exam marking.
