Required Coach Accreditation Registration
For the upcoming season coaches attending any Skate Ontario event or competitive event will require a Coach Accreditation card. Registration will be live on Monday, July 4, 2022 and will require you to show proof of your current Skate Canada coaching dashboard as well as an NCCP Number and most recent achieved NCCP Coaching status. This is for all disciplines and levels. Please be advised that moving forward previous coaching cards that were issued are not considered valid.
Registration for this will end on July 14, 2022 at 11:59pm ET.

Skate Ontario coaches are committed to excellence at all levels, inspiring, guiding and encouraging athletes to reach their full potential in a safe and positive training environment.
Skate Ontario coaches are members of our National Sport Organization, Skate Canada and are trained through the Coaching Association of Canada’s flagship National Coach Certification Program (NCCP). Aligned with the Long Term Athlete Development Model, our coaches receive professional and sport specific training to deliver appropriate level programming to their athletes.

- Valid first aid certificate
- Valid background screening
- Completion of the “Respect in Sport” Activity Leader training (new for the 2018/2019 season)
- Compliance with the “Maintenance of Certification” program which mandates and promotes on-going learning and development
