ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS & CODE OF CONDUCT EXPECTATIONS OF COACHES:

 

It is critical that Coaches familiarize themselves with the CCAA Policies and Procedures entitled "Eligibility" and “Code Conduct”. Coaches are responsible for obtaining these rules from their Athletic Director and to inquire how their respective circumstance relates to CCAA eligibility requirements and code of conduct expectations.

As a Coach, you are required to take the most up to date Safe Sport Training, either Coaching Association of Canada’s (CAC) Safe sport Training E-learning or Respect in Sport – Activity Leaders training via the Respect Group.

 

CANADIAN ANTI-DOPING PROGRAM:

 

The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) is unequivocally opposed to the use of prohibited substances or prohibited methods that enhance sporting performance, risk health and or are contrary to the spirit of sport. As such, the CCAA has adopted the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP). The latest version of the CADP can be accessed here: http://cces.ca/canadian-anti-doping-program
