Competition Stream

CDM Competition StreamCoaches in the Competition stream usually have previous coaching experience or are former athletes in the sport. They tend to work with athletes over the long term to improve performance, often in preparation for provincial, national, and international competitions.

Competition Stream Coach

There are three levels of workshops for competition coaches that reflect the stages of athlete development: Introduction, Introduction – Advanced and Development.

  • The Competition – Introduction workshop is a 19-hour course, scheduled over four sessions with on- and off-court components. Coaches are not required to have previous coach certification. Training pre-requisites for this course are included in the next section. This course can be considered your entry level competition course. Athletes will be in the Learn to Train stage of the Long Term Development Model.
  • The Competition – Introduction Advanced workshop is a 22-hour course, scheduled over three to four days with on- and off-court teachings. Competition – Introduction is the pre-requisite course. Athletes will be in the Train to Train stage of LTAD and range in age from 11-15 for females, 12-16 for males and late entry +2-5 years. The ratio of Athletes to Coach Candidates is 4:1 and Coach Candidates to Learning Facilitators is 4:1.
  • The Competition – Development is a 36 to 42-hour course, scheduled over six days with on- and off-court teachings. Wheelchair Basketball Canada requires that coach candidates have obtained certification in Competition – Introduction and Competition -Introduction Advanced (or the old NCCP equivalencies) as a pre-requisite. Athletes will be in the Training to Compete stage of LTAD and range in age from 15-18 for females, 16-18 for males and late entry +4-5 years. The ratio of Athletes to Coach Candidates is 4:1 and Coach Candidates to Learning Facilitators is 4:1.

Coach candidates must be at least 16 years of age to be certified within the competition stream.
