In Alberta, Coaching takes a number of different pathways. The fundamental difference in the pathways is the age of the athlete you are coaching and their stage of development. The video below gives an overview of the pathways and coaching. The chart is how we have implemented the national coaching pathways of Athletics Canada.
Coaching Education Deadlines
New deadlines have been established for your coaching education evaluations.
Coaches will have one year (365 days) to complete and pass their Athletics Portfolio and Practice Observations for RJTW, Sport Coach and Club Coach. And, that clock will begin on the day that they register for their Athletics Evaluation.
In addition, coaches who registered for their Athletics evaluations in RJTW, Sport Coach or Club Coach in the past (2024, 2023, 2022, etc) have until December 31, 2025 to complete and pass it. If this deadline is not met, they will have to re-register for the evaluation and pay for it again.
These new deadlines are intended to keep coaching education current and evaluations productive.
