Coaches

SSA seeks to support our coaches by providing ongoing training, mentoring and upgrading opportunities for all levels of coaches.

Become a Coach

Speed Skating Canada’s Coaching Pathway offers a variety of coaching development and certifications courses that are recognized by the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). The required level of coaching certification depends on the age group and competition level of the athletes being coached.
