Notes:
Completion of the Coach Hybrid Post Task workbook (Verification Form from MHA) is necessary to gain Coach Hybrid Certification. Completion of the Developmental 1 Post Task Workbook with a passing grade (submitted to BC Hockey) is necessary for Developmental 1 Certification and is considered a prerequisite for Developmental 2 seminars.
Recommended Extension(s): It is recommended that the BC Hockey Checking Clinic for Coaches (4 hours) be added to the afternoon of the second day of Hybrid clinics. Delegates attending the Coach Hybrid clinic (coach stream and Introduction to Coaching combined) must remain for the entire program as both courses are entwined during presentation. Delegates should also consult their local MHA and District regulations regarding additional requirements to coach.
High Performance Stream is offered every two years for advanced coaches.
All coaches regardless of their level of coaching must also complete a Speak Out! clinic.
