Competition Coaching Introduction - Learning to Train (CCI-L2T) Dryland

The CCI (L2T) program provides tools and develops skills that a coach can use to: (1) create a fun, team-oriented environment that will motivate children to achieve their personal goals in sport and develop a lifelong interest in the fitness and health benefits of cross-country skiing; and (2) deliver a well-rounded sport program with an emphasis on skill development to children nine to 12 years of age (the L2T stage of development).

This is the third step in the NCCP coach education program. Coaches are taught about developmental age, physical literacy, team building, athletic components (aerobic fitness, speed, etc.), nutrition, how to design their own sport program, adventure-based activities (year-round), roller-skiing and planning a practice.

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

N.B. This workshop plus the Learn to Train On Snow workshop are requirements for all coaches supervising, instructing or coaching ski activities for children nine to sixteen years of age. See Cross Country Canada's Minimum Mandaotry Coaching Qualifications .
