Would you like to make a huge difference in the lives of others? Becoming a Coach for Athletes with a Disability does not require any special skills or requirements. Just like coaching any sport all you need to start is passion, motivation and perhaps some patience.

To start coaching check our ParaSport Ontario Facebook page for a list of current volunteer postings or check out our Ontario ParaSport Directory for a club in your community that might be in need of a coach or assistant coach to start learning the ropes.

Every sport has a different coaching education pathway and to find out more about becoming certified in a specific sport contact the Provincial or Multi-Sport Organization that governs the sport.

There are two streams of coaching: Community Sport Stream and Competition or Instruction Stream. To find out more about the National Coaching Certification program visit www.coachesontario.ca.
