 COACHING REQUIREMENTS AND COURSE INFORMATION

Ringette Ontario's Bench Staff Qualification Pathways has the complete list of all the courses you will require.   

New Coach Instructions

1) The first step is to get an NCCP # IF YOU DON’T ALREADY HAVE ONE.  To create an account go to this link and click “Click on the Don’t have an NCCP# Create one now!” and follow the website instructions.  You should keep your password as you will want to go back to this spot later and check your transcript to make sure your getting credit for your courses. 

2) Once you have an NCCP # (or if you already have one), log into the London Ringette Association Ramp Registration Portal (the same place you go the register the kids for the ringette season) but instead of using the option to "registering a participant" you will click to "register a coach/staff".  Be sure to enter your newly created NCCP # when registering.

3) You can check the requirements on what they call a pathways document for all positions Ringette Ontario here.

4) Click on your team's age division and the bench staff position you will occupy and you will see the complete list of courses. 

5) The Make Ethical Decisions (MED) and Community Sport Initiation (CSI) courses are scheduled real-time “zoom” sessions, the Coach Initiation in Sport, Making Headway and Respect in Sport are online at your own pace.

6) Coach Initiation in Sport must be done before the CSI course…so do that one first.

7) When you register for Making Ethical Decisions…make sure you’re registering for the clinic and not "challenging" the exam.  Even if you pass the evaluation, you will not be accepted as an accredited coach unless you have done the full course and then the exam. 

8) For the Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders course - remember to enter your NCCP # and click on "allow" to transfer your completion of the course to your NCCP locker transcript. Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders is a separate course and requirement from the Respect in Sport a Parent that everyone must take. 

9) For Making Headway, pick the multi-sport one, as there is not one just for ringette.

10) The bench staff code of conduct is signed off when you register as a coach.

11) The volunteer screening info will be sent separately to the Head Coaches, and they’ll pass it on.

12) Keep your receipts for all the courses. Once you’ve got them all done email this form with the receipts attached to lratreasurer@londonringette.com & lracoachingcoordinator@londonringette.com THANK YOU!!!
