Member Registration & Benefits

BECOME A COACHES BC MEMBER

Membership in the Coaches Association of BC ensures that you have the most up-to-date information to be the best coach you can be, regardless of the level of athlete you work with. All coaches are eligible for membership, regardless of whether or not they are NCCP certified. Are you a coach for a sport club or association? Why not see if your club is interested in utilizing the group discount and buy memberships for all your club coaches. For more information go to our bulk membership page.

(Note:  NCCP certification and/or membership in a national coaching association does not automatically provide membership with Coaches BC.  You must apply separately)
