National Coaches Week
September 15-21, 2025, is the 11th Annual National Coaches Week in Canada! To celebrate, say #ThanksCoach, and to support coaches in the work they do, SPAR will be offering a 50% discount on all NCCP multi-sport modules to Alberta coaches in September. Be sure to thank a coach and take advantage of the discounted rates!
NCCP Making Head Way in Sport is the NCCP’s free, online answer to the prevalence and ambiguity of concussions in sport. Parents, coaches, and athletes all benefit from knowing as much as possible about concussions; this online learning tool is designed to help coaches gain the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of their athletes.
After completing the NCCP Making Head Way in Sport module, you will understand:
- how to prevent concussions.
- how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion.
- what to do when you suspect an athlete has a concussion; and
- how to ensure athletes return to play safely
