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.

Safe, inclusive sport environments help make sport rewarding and enriching for all. Participants learn to recognize, prevent and address maltreatment in sport. Mandatory for all sport organizations in CAN.

The Support Through Sport eLearning series is designed to empower coaches to recognize and take action when it is suspected that a teen sport participant is involved in an unhealthy dating relationship. Understanding Teen Dating Violence is the foundational module in this series and focuses on creating healthy environments for sport participants between the ages of 11 and 24 years.

Mental health impacts the quality of life and performance of both sport participants and coaches. The Coaching Association of Canada’s Mental Health in Sport eLearning module was developed to educate coaches about mental health to empower them to effectively play a role in supporting the well-being of the participants in their sport program, while also supporting their own mental health. 

The goal of the Rule of Two is to ensure all interactions and communications are open, observable and justifiable. It is one of three pillars of the Responsible Coaching Movement, along with background screening and ethics training.

A pilot.

In an effort to test new technology and expand its digital content offering, CBC Sports is beta testing AI un-manned cameras to stream community sport in a cost effective manner. In a beta phase, CBC Sports is testing CBC Sports Connect - a groundbreaking digital platform designed exclusively for sport organizations to stream sports into a CBC branded content ecosystem.

 

The platform is dedicated to bringing the exhilaration of sports that aren’t traditionally available to community members, fans, athletes and coaches. Audiences can witness the excitement of OWIFA competitions live or on-demand, reliving the most thrilling moments through customized highlight clips that are easily shareable on your favourite social media platforms. The cameras being used are emerging technology and OWIFA is part of CBC Sports Connect’s test trial.

 

Please expect the content to resemble a raw stream and not a TV broadcast.*

 

To check it out and sign-up for a free account please visit: CBC SPORTS CONNECT - BETA. You will need to create a free account to view. Also, don’t forget to follow Football Ontario to ensure all the latest OWIFA content is curated to you.

 

**Please remember this project is in BETA and is not yet branded or at its full capacity. We are testing our system in collaboration with your content to help us better understand the technology, the platform and the user experience. We hope to learn from games this season and would love to hear your constructive feedback to admin.pixellot@cbc.ca.
