"Our coaches are teachers, mentors and role models committed to teaching individual development and life skills to help each skater realize his/her personal best – on and off the ice. All Skate Canada coaches are professionals who are trained and certified through Skate Canada’s National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). All Skate Canada professional coaches must be registered coaching members in good standing." - Skate Canada
Robin McGregor, Heather Francis, Mary Lynn Kinney, Kayla Gilchrist
The National Coaching Certificate Program
Launched in 1970, the NCCP is a partnership between the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC), the federal, provincial, and territorial governments, and more than 60 national sport organizations and their provincial and territorial sport associations.
As Canada’s recognised training and certification program, the NCCP serves a wide range of coaches – from those who introduce beginners to sport to those working with high performance athletes.
In response to an extensive evaluation, the program has been going through a major re-development since the late 1990s. Key to these changes is a shift in emphasis from “what a coach knows” to “what a coach can do.”
In the new, competency-based system, training and certification programs are based on the clearly defined needs of participants. This new structure addresses the full range of sports in Canada at various levels of skill and in a variety of settings.

To ensure that participation in the Pembroke Skating Club is an enjoyable and safe experience, and to help the parents get value from the money they pay, we ask skaters, parents and coaches to observe the following:
|
Skaters should arrive ahead of the start of their session, and be changed and ready to go on the ice at the start of their session.
To avoid injury, skaters should warm up and stretch before going onto the ice. Skaters must wear appropriate skating attire during regular sessions - no jeans. During skating tests, skaters must wear appropriate attire (check with your coach). Skaters should be moving on the ice, unless they are waiting for the start of their program to be played. (Skaters should not be standing around.) Skaters who fall should get up and out of the way of other skaters. (No sitting on the ice.) To ensure the safety of all skaters, it is very important that skaters be aware and watchful of those around them. A collision between skaters could result in serious injury. This is sometimes an issue with younger skaters sharing the ice with older skaters. The coaches determine the music played, with priority in order of request. Skaters should familiarize themselves with the other skaters and their programs so they can stay out of the way of persons whose solo is being played. Parents - not the coaches - are responsible for their children, and should be present during their child's session, particularly at the lower levels. (It is mandatory that each CanSlate Level 1 participant has a responsible adult present in the arena at all times.) |
Profanity is strictly prohibited, in the dressing room and on the ice.
We look to our senior skaters to be role models for our younger athletes, on and off the ice. Gum, candy, food and drink are strictly prohibited from the ice surface. Due to insurance requirements, family, friends and coaches are prohibited from the ice surface if not a registered Skate Canada member, except in a medical emergency. Skate Canada members must obtain prior Club permission to access the ice surface during a Club Session they have neither registered nor paid for. If permission is granted to "guest skate", the Session representative or Head Coach will determine and collect an appropriate fee for such access. Skate Canada coaches affiliated with our Club must obtain Club Executive approval prior to inviting a skater from another Club to "guest skate" for the purpose of providing instruction to a skater either on or off ice. Such a request will be considered only for infrequent lessons. "Guest Skaters" are only permitted lessons from Skate Canada coaches affiliated with our Club if all the needs of the registered skaters on that session have been met (had their music played and received their scheduled lessons). Skate Canada coaches not affiliated with our Club must obtain Club Executive approval prior to attending any Club Session for the purpose of providing instruction either on or off ice (for example, for Guest Skating prior to a competition). |
