RUN, JUMP, THROW COURSE DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the Run, Jump, Throw Instructor workshop is to train Instructors and Coaches to teach fundamental motor skills in the areas of running, jumping and throwing. Participants in the Run, Jump, Throw Instructor Course will be exposed to the technical progressions used to teach running, jumping and throwing skills as well as essential information in the areas of safety, risk management and ethical decision-making. In addition, basic teaching and learning methodologies will be presented.
As a collective, the course material represents important foundational pieces that must be integrated into instruction and coaching practice to ensure the well-being of all participants. In the new NCCP, instructors and coaches who wish to be certified will be required to be evaluated in a number of outcomes, including: Ethical Decision-Making, Analyzing Performance, and Support to Athletes in Training. The evaluation process reflects both Athletics Canada and the Coaching Association of Canada Standards. Instructors who have completed the Run, Jump, Throw Instructor Course will be recorded in the Coaching Association of Canada database. Upon successful completion of the course the Instructor will be granted “trained” NCCP RJT status. When the Instructor successfully completes the Rum, Jump, Throw Evaluation, the Instructor will be granted “certified” NCCP RJT status.
