How do I become a coach?
The first step in becoming a coach is to contact your local association. They would be able to provide you with detailed information on the steps you must undertake to become a certified Coach.
The basic steps to becoming a coach are:

Anyone
older than 14 years of age and under 16 years of age can begin to take NCCP
coaching courses at the Community Sport – Initiation and Competition –
Introduction contexts for Ringette across Canada. Interested individuals will
have access to NCCP training and evaluation, but will only receive “Certified”
