National Coaches Week: September 16 – 24, 2023

July 25, 2023: September 16 – 24, 2023 marks the nineth annual National Coaches Week. It is a time to celebrate the positive impact coaches have on athletes and their communities across Canada. The annual campaign is an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play by saying #ThanksCoach.

Sport Organizations are encouraged to join in the National Coaches Week celebration and follow all of the social media action on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #CoachesWeek and #ThanksCoach. Be sure to tag #AbSport in your social media posts and/or share your celebration pictures and stories with Tourism and Sport. Refer to the National Coaches Week Participation Guide to access graphic tools and plan your own NCW events and activities.

To celebrate National Coaches Week and to show appreciation for Alberta coaches, the Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Branch is discounting NCCP multi-sport modules offered in September. Coaches can view the available courses on the NCCP Multi-Sport Calendar with registration for September courses opening on July 31. It is recommended to register early as each module has limited availability and will sell out fast.
