Join us in celebrating the tremendous positive impact that coaches have on athletes and communities across Canada! September 21-29 marks the fifth annual National Coaches Week and we’re asking for your help to celebrate! Whether you’re a sport organization, an athlete or participant, parent or coach, administrator or volunteer, we want your help to say #ThanksCoach to coaches across the country.

Coaching by the Numbers:
