Columbia-Greene Community College, a New York State Education Department-approved provider of secondary coaching education, is offering a series of certification courses for coaches this semester.
Upon successful completion of this series, students will have met the NYSED requirements for coaching at the modified, junior varsity, and varsity sports levels. Instruction is delivered both in the classroom and online.
Beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 23, C-GCC will host the first course of the program: Health Sciences as Applied to Coaching Sports, a series of interactive exercises and activities designed to study Health Sciences as they apply to coaching sports. Through these activities, exercises and health application to coaching topics, participants will gain information, organize it for professional and personal use, and apply it to their programs. The cost of the required textbook, Successful Coaching – 4th Edition or later (ISBN- 13:9781450400510) is included in the course fee of $152. The course will be held at C-GCC in Room 134, and run for seven Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The series will continue in March with Principles, Philosophy and Organization of Athletics in Education, Theory and Techniques of Coaching, and First Aid for Coaches.
