"Coaching to Make a Positive Difference" 

The coaches’ training program, is a highly effective approach to training coaches on the value of a youth sports program and creating an environment which will not only develop a child’s athletic skills, but also retain the children from year to year. The overall goal is to create, for everyone involved in youth sports, the best possible sporting experience. It all starts with an educated coach. This program is designed to educate volunteer coaches on the tactics and strategies of teaching.  (Recommended for Coaches with less than 3 years CYO experience)

"Looking in the Mirror" 

This program is designed to get our more experienced coaches to reflect on their own coaching style. Typically, a coach spends most of his/her time looking outward and assessing everything, but their own style. Sport programs will only grow and improve when its coaches look inward and makes changes which will help their overall program. When you have done something for a long time, it is difficult to make those changes unless you consciously sit down and reflect on your own performance. The program is a real eye opener and very effective with our more experienced coaches. (Recommended for Coaches with more than 3 years CYO experience)
