The Aboriginal Coaching Module is open to coaches of all levels, Indigenous or non-Indigenous, who work with Indigenous athletes. Offered as part of the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), this workshop delves into unique Indigenous cultures, values, and lifestyles, equipping coaches with the knowledge and skills to foster inclusive environments for their athletes.

Some key components of the ACM include:

• Understanding the role of a coach in Indigenous communities

• Building strong relationships with Indigenous athletes

• Navigating cultural awareness and sensitivity in coaching

• Strategies for holistic athlete development, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being

This certificate is mandatory for all coaches interested in being a coach for future North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) events.

The session will be hosted on Sunday, October 6th @ 8:30am – 5:00pm at the Yukon Aboriginal Sport Circle office in Whitehorse. If you would like more information, please contact info@yasc.ca.
