It's National Coaches Week – Sept 17-25

Baseball BC is looking to celebrate Coaches Week by nominating two coaches to attend the 2016 Petro-Canada Sport Leadership sportif Conference - Investors Group Community Coaches Day
This is a full day event designed to engage community coaches from the host province of B.C. at the Petro-Canada Sport Leadership sportif conference in Richmond. The 2 coaches selected will participate in a free full day of networking, education, inspiration, professional development, and NCCP coach training sponsored by the Investors Group (travel and accommodations not included).
Each selected coach will attend the final day (Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016) of the 2016 Petro-Canada Sport Leadership sportif conference with the rest of the conference delegates, which includes two networking meals (breakfast and lunch) and four plenary speaker sessions. They will also receive a special Investors Group delegate bag filled with coaching swag and after the conference ends, the selected coaches will attend a plenary session specifically for the community coaches and one of four pre-selected NCCP multi-sport workshops.
As the PSO/DSO, we will nominate two deserving community coaches who would benefit from this opportunity. Coaches are not required to be in your NCCP Community-stream pathway (ie Comp Intro is fine), but should not be high performance/Comp-Dev coaches or staff members at your organization.

If you are interesest & deserving or you would like to nominate such a coach, please e-mail info1@baseball.bc.ca with a brief explaination as to why this coach should be honored with this opportunity.

Deadline to submit has been extended until September 30, 2016
