Community Coaching workshops are oriented toward the “Active Start” and “FUNdamentals” stage of the Long Term Athlete Development model. These worskhops are mandatory for everyone coaching or assisting their club's Bunnyrabbit, Jackrabbit or Track Attack program. Community Coaches are in high demand by all "Jackrabbit" clubs!

There are 3 steps of training in the Community Coaching context:

1. Coach Initiation in Sport - eLearning multi-sport module in the The Locker
2. Introduction to Community Coaching - eLearning XC Skiing module in the The Locker
3. Community Coaching workshop* = Day 1 virtual training Day 2 on-snow

*Coaches interested in training & /or certification in the Competition Coaching Introduction context can skip the CC workshop and move directly to CCI-L2T Dryland after Step 2 above.

The course fee is subsidized by Sport Manitoba - Coaching in an effort to increase the population of qualified cross-country ski coaches while keeping the cost of coaching development affordable for our members.
