Moresports Spring Break Coaches Development Series – March 2019

Moresports has successfully ran our first Coaches Development Workshop Series this Spring Break from March 18-March 30 for youth across our 11 Vancouver Moresports hubs. Working with our viaSport BCSPP and United Way School Out grants Moresports was able to offer 12 free certification workshops in 14 days, where we saw a total of 130 youth registered.

Workshops included: HIGH FIVE: Principles of Healthy Child Development, NCCP Teaching and Learning, NCCP Managing Conflict, NCCP Making Ethical Decisions, NCCP Mentorship, Canucks Autism Network: Making Positive Environments in Recreation, Group Management Skills, Emergency First Aid: CPR C/AED.

Many thanks to our partners at the Vancouver School Board and Vancouver Parks Board for providing facilities for our workshops at Slocan Field House through Renfrew Park Community Centre and the Britannia Learning Resource Centre through the Britannia Community Schools Team.
